One Child a Day Falls From a Window or Balcony

One Child a Day Falls From a Window or Balcony

The Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) have shared that one child under 10 is admitted to hospital every day after falling from a building – mainly from open windows or balconies.

Any worryingly, these accidents peak in the summer months when windows are left open to catch a breeze.

Lets all help keep children safe this summer by downloading and displaying CAPT’s free warning poster.
