Drowning happens quickly and quietly. And, if your child goes under the water you won’t hear it. So, stay with them all the time they’re in the bath and keep them in arm's reach. Learn more ways to stay safe at bath time: capt.org.uk/safe-baby-bath-t… #ChildSafety #BabySafety

Wearing a brighter coloured coat can help your child be seen more easily by drivers as the nights draw in. If your child or their school insists on a darker colour you can add reflective strips to increase visibility. #BackToSchool #NewSchoolYear #ChildSafety
