The largest number of accidents happen in the living/dining room.
The most serious happen in the kitchen and on the stairs.
More than TWO MILLION children under the age of 5 experience accidents in and around the home EVERY YEAR, for which they are taken to Accident and Emergency units.
Almost 100 children under the age of 5 are admitted to hospital for treatment EACH DAY following an accident in the home.
Older children are more likely to have fractures/ breaks (both are the same) than younger children.
Younger children have a higher percentage of burns & scalds as well as poisoning and ingestion accidents.

Accidents don’t have to happen. No one wants an accident to anyone particularly children at any time and definitely not at this time of year.
