Halloween Top Tip: Talk to your child and prepare them that it can be scary and it is not real. Sometimes people go all-out to make things frightening, forgetting that this can be petrifying for little ones. Hold small children’s hands and be prepared, just in case they panic and run if something suddenly scares.
POST 3 We do hope you enjoy you’re your bonfire night but in the event of an accident here are a few things to do: • Hold the affected area under cool, running water for at least 10 minutes • Cool the burn and keep the person warm – look out for signs of shock • If a child is burnt and the area is blistered and larger than a 50p piece; phone for an ambulance... • Once the burn has been cooled for at least 15 /20 minutes, the burn can be loosely covered with cling film or inserted into a sterile plastic bag if appropriate –alternatively keep running it under water until the paramedic arrives. NEVER: • Touch the burn • Remove anything stuck to the burn • Use lotions, ointments or creams • Use adhesive dressings • Break blisters For more information on staying safe go to: http://ow.ly/WDud30mhr2n

However, dark evenings and over-excited children can be a recipe for disaster and it is advisable to plan ahead to ensure everyone remains safe. So over the next 2 weeks we will be posting our top tips to keep you and your family safe.
Tip: Fancy dress costumes are not usually waterproof or flame resistant – wear warm clothes underneath, take a waterproof and be extremely careful to avoid naked flames.
