06 August - Health - August is Child Safety Month

In today's show, we were joined by Chiedza Mavengeie – Researcher for Childsafe. She was here to talk about their childsafe campaign. The childsafe campaign is aimed at raising awareness of the need for parents and other adults to be more alert to danger and more conscientious about taking steps to prevent accidents. “You’re bigger Be the adult” is the theme for the campaign. It appears that younger children especially those under the age of 6 are most at risk of accidental injuries since a toddler whose not in a car seat has a five times greater chance of dying in a car accident than one who is properly restrained. In South Africa, nearly 90 percent of children being transported are not restrained. For further information you can contact Childsafe on (021) 685 5208 or visit the website www.childsafe.org.za
