PARENTS across Lancashire are being urged to think about ways to keep their children safe with the start of national Child Safety Week on June 18.
The week is highlighting the different dangers children face and how these can be avoided. Lancashire County Council's Road Safety Group is focusing on keeping children safe on the roads and has launched Small Journeys, an educational guide for pre-school leaders and health visitors.
The Small Journeys guide is split into two resources, a handy A5 booklet for health visitors and a guide aimed at pre-school care providers.
The information-packed road safety guide for playschools, childminders and nurseries includes information on pedestrian safety, safer outings with children, child car seats, being seen and much more. It also features A3 pictorial aids that can be used to teach road safety themes such as Stop', Holding Hands' and Looking and Listening'.
The guide has been piloted by childcare establishments in the county.
If you are based in Lancashire and would like more information or to request a copy of Small Journeys please call: 01772 531048 or email: roadsafety@env.lancscc.gov.uk
