This training has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Interim Senior EYFS Advisory Teacher, Karen Loft, for the attention of Early Years sector, practitioners and settings for staff knowledge and to share with their parents.
Last week we were joined by a paediatric A&E consultant, a product safety expert, the chair of a local accident prevention group and a mum whose son swallowed a button battery the day before his first birthday to discuss button battery safety.
Watch the free recording to learn why button batteries are so dangerous, where they can be found and what to do if you suspect a child has swallowed one.
Please share the webinar widely to help spread the message and keep children safe.
