Safe in the sunshine

Safe in the sunshine

To be certain that your summer holiday is not only super-fun but also super-safe, here are some issues to consider before you head off.

  • Be sun-safe: Find out how to protect babies’, toddlers’ and kids’ delicate skin from those harsh UV rays here, with information about sunscreens, pram covers, car window shades and more provided.
  • Be water-safe: Beach, pool, river or dam – swimming is a fantastic way to cool off. But without adult supervision and enforcement of safety rules, water can be the cause of accidents and drownings. Do a first-aid course so you know what to do in an emergency, and see how to be water-safe here, and on the Kidsafe site here.
  • Be road-safe: Get to your holiday location in one piece – if you’re the driver, you have a responsibility to both yourself and your passengers to motor along without exceeding the speed limit, observe the road rules, and take frequent breaks. Find out more here, including the location of Driver Reviver stops for breaks.
