Why Safely kids
The perception of risk, danger and hazards is an acquired taste that is gained with the passage of time, but children are born as clean slates with no understanding of risk and danger. Hence the need for guardians (parents, school administrators, etc) to protect and keep them safe while they learn to interact with their environment in a way that does not jeopardize their future physical, mental and social wellbeing.Safely Kids is our service that
- Empowers adults with the knowledge that they may ordinarily overlook or not know about keeping children safe.
- Provides safety assessments for home and schools with a focus on child safety.
- Sells safety kits and tools that can be used to keep children safe, reduce the risk
of injuries, and increase the peace of mind for parents and guardians.
Child-Proofing your home
Safety covers for electrical sockets: these are covers for electrical sockets that prevent children from casually sticking items into sockets and endangering themselves. We do not promote the insert types of covers; our preference is for covers that envelop the entire socket. The insert type covers have been proven to be unsafe in the United Kingdom; further information can be found here http://www.fatallyflawed.org.uk.
The argument is that British Standard sockets, which typically are in use in Nigeria, are designed to be inherently safe with the use of shutters that prevent access to the live contacts. However, sometimes the shutters fail, leaving the live contacts accessible by prying little fingers.
