Dear colleague There are two new brain teasers for Child Safety Week
- with great prizes for both parents and children/young people. First, we're asking children and young people aged 8 to 15
to give us their views on risk taking by filling in a short questionnaire
- please click
here to open the survey. We're keen to know why they take risks - and
whether there are any messages or motivating factors that would encourage them
to think more carefully about the risks they take. The answers will be used in
the news story for this year's Child Safety Week. And we are offering three
prizes of music vouchers worth £35 as an incentive for their views. If you work with children/young people - and you
can distribute the questionnaire during your hectic schedule - we'd be
extremely grateful. But if all you can manage is handing the form to your own
children, or those of friends and neighbours, that's great too. As this is a
straw poll, not in-depth research, we just need a cross-section of ages
and genders. The deadline for getting completed questionnaires
back to us is Wednesday
31 May 2006. And there is a freepost address on the
form to make it as easy as possible to return it to us. Second, we're challenging parents and carers
to test their knowledge of carbon monoxide poisoning in a quiz
- please click here
to open the quiz. There's the
chance to win one of 50 prizes of a free carbon monoxide alarm worth £20
- thanks to the generosity of Ei Electronics, an official sponsor of Child
Safety Week 2006. Parents can also wise up to carbon monoxide, find out
how to put safety first, and read Stacey Rodgers' story to find out why she is
now campaigning for greater awareness of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Please do distribute the carbon monoxide quiz to
the parents and carers you work with during your Child Safety Week activities.
The closing date for completed quiz entries is Friday 8 September 2006. Yours sincerely Katrina Phillips Katrina Phillips Chief Executive Child Accident Prevention Trust Registered charity no 1053549 |
