Home safety resources for schools

Like everything you teach children, you're preparing them for life. That's why it's so important to get them to learn to be safe at home now, so they keep those good habits for life. Your school can play a major part in helping to reduce injuries in New Zealand now and in the future, not only by what you teach kids, but through your interaction with parents.

Here are some great resources you can use to teach children to be safety aware at the home. We've designed them to be fun and informative.
