The authors have a background in health inspection, midwifery and teaching. They have extensive experience in child care courses and have four books on the topic. In 223 pages the 'Good Practice in Child Safety' book covers Childhood Accidents, Health and Safety at Work, Child Development and Safety, Accident Prevention, Safe Environments, Health and Hygiene, Child Protection, and First Aid.
Focusing on the Accident Prevention chapter, it covers:
- Burns, scalds, and electric shock
- Falls and cuts
- Sunburn and heatstroke
- Choking, suffocation and drowning
- Poisoning
- Feeding, mealtimes and cooking activities
- Toys and play materials
- Lifting and handling
- Children with special needs
Good Practice in Child Safety is written clearly, comes with precise Do's and Do Not's, has good illustrations, and practical child safety advice. One illustration that came out from the accident prevention chapter is of a large group of children on a climbing frame and two parents standing idly chatting with each other - featuring a big cross as an example of what not to do. I agree, it's dangerous and unacceptable.
