Plunket: Keep Kids Safe Around Schools

Plunket: Keep Kids Safe Around Schools

Plunket is urging people to keep an eye out for children as they head back to school this week.

As New Zealand’s largest provider of services to support the health and development of children under five, Plunket recognises many children will be venturing off to school for the first time.

Sue Campbell, Plunket’s National Child Safety Advisor, says parents will often have a lot to deal with getting children to school, but needed to remember to keep them safe.

“For parents and caregivers this can be an emotional and busy time but it’s also about remembering to buckle children in every time they are riding in the car,” Sue says.

“Everyone needs to be that bit more aware that more children are about, as well as people with prams and strollers, and drive more cautiously.”
