Child Falls & Safe Kids Week 2019

Posted Le 1 février 2019

Parachute is pleased to announce this year's topic for Safe Kids Week (June 3 - 9, 2019) is preventing harm from children’s falls in the home and at play.



Parachute Safe Kids Week is an annual campaign to raise public awareness of child safety issues, encouraging community involvement as part of the solution.
