Real Christmas trees are often the heart of the home. But they need to be well-watered throughout Christmas so they’re less likely to catch fire or burn quickly.

Real Christmas trees are often the heart of the home. But they need to be well-watered throughout Christmas so they’re less likely to catch fire or burn quickly. If your tree becomes dry, remove it right away.

Magnets may look great fun, but they can rip through a child’s gut if they swallow them, causing life-threatening injuries.

Please don’t buy small loose magnets if you have young children at home.

Not every #BlackFriday bargain is worth the risk.

Through our joint campaign with the @captcharity, we’re raising awareness of unsafe electrical products and toys sold by third-party sellers via online marketplaces.

To stay safe, buy from reputable retailers.

Most families can't believe their own dog would bite their child. But, children are most likely to be bitten at home, by a dog they know. And, the injuries can have a lasting impact.

Here are some tips to help keep your child safe and your dog happy: https://t.co/YDqmABzXBR

Happy #InternationalDogDay! We love our four-legged friends. But we also know that any dog can bite if they feel they have no other option.

With the long summer holiday and cost-of-living pressures, we’re all looking for cheap toys to entertain the children.

But please remember, many cheap toys from online marketplaces come from abroad and haven’t been safety tested.

If you’re worried a young person is being criminally exploited but don’t want to contact the police, then contact Fearless anonymously at https://t.co/ODhqpUjKAw or contact Crimestoppers 0800 555 111

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Children who are being exploited might respond in different ways. They could seem angry, aggressive, or say they don’t need help. It is our job to #LookCloser. By knowing the signs and how to report concerns, we can keep children safe. https://t.co/n1xDiEbn5J

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Child exploitation is not always easy to spot. But there are signs. We want EVERYONE to #LookCloser, know how to report concerns & keep children safe. https://t.co/n1xDiEbn5J

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Do you know how to spot the signs of child exploitation? This is where an individual or group manipulate a child/young person into criminal activity in exchange for something the child wants or needs - such as food, money, drugs, gifts or affection. https://t.co/n1xDiEbUVh

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Young people are being manipulated, sexually abused, forced to launder money & deal drugs. Child exploitation can happen to any age, gender or ethnicity - online or anywhere that children and young people hang out. Know the signs and how to report it. https://t.co/n1xDiEbUVh

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Any child can be exploited, whoever they are, wherever they live. We’re joining @childrensociety in asking everyone to #LookCloser. Know the signs and how to report your concerns, to keep children safe. https://t.co/n1xDiEbn5J

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

Exploitation happens everywhere- in public spaces like hotels, train stations and shopping centres or online. By spending more time talking and listening to young people about their online lives, we can stop this abuse from happening. Know the signs and #LookCloser.

[Northants SCP @NorthantsSCB]

When someone builds a relationship with a child to manipulate them, this is known as grooming. The child may be coerced into transporting drugs, sexually exploited, forced into labour, made to launder criminal money, or steal from shops. #LookCloser
