Choking can happen at any age, babies & young children face a higher choking risk if they’re under five. Small children instinctively put objects in their mouths. Make sure toys have no detectable parts, plastic eyes or nose that could be chewed off. #SoTSafeguarding #Childsafety

Safeguarding question: Do your children and pupils know the difference between a good secret and a bad one? #SoTSafeguarding #SoTSchools #SchoolSafeGuarding

In Stoke-on-Trent there are increasing concerns about #gang related activity. We believe every young person should be given the opportunity to live free from exposure to gang exploitation & crime. If you are concerned call the Safeguarding Team on 01782 235100 #SoTSafeguarding

As children get older they should explore the outside world safely. Let children know that not all strangers are bad - they need to be wary of an adult, including ones they already know, asks them to go somewhere with them unexpectedly. #SoTSafeguarding #KeepingChildrenSafe

If you think a child might be at risk, report it – even if you’re not completely sure. Find out more https://t.co/dqnILGbP1k #tackleabusetogether #SoTSafeguarding

Most babies and small children who drown, drown at home in the bath or in the garden. Babies can drown in as little as 5cm of water. NEVER leave a baby or young child alone when they’re in the bath #SoTSafeguarding #BeWaterAware

[SoTSafeguarding @SoTSafeguarding]

If a young person, who isn’t your birth child, has been staying at your home for more than 28 days you are probably a private foster carer & you may be entitled to a range of support. Contact the Advice and Access Team for info: 01782 232200 #PrivateFostering #SoTSafeguarding

Prevent choking by keeping small objects like marbles, balloons, small balls and coins off the floor and out of reach of babies and young children. Anything smaller than a 2p can get stuck! #SoTSafeguarding #Childsafety

If you're looking after someone else’s child for more than 28 days & they're under 16 (under 18 if they have a disability) you could be entitled to benefits to help you to provide any special needs the child has. Contact us: 01782 232200 #PrivateFostering #SoTSafeguarding

Did you know that drowning can occur in as little as 20 seconds? It can happen quickly and quietly. ALWAYS supervise young children in or around water. #WaterSafety #SoTSafeguarding
