Places to go for more information
If participants need more information on child safety, encourage families to connect with you
or other staff from your agency. Other great sources of information are:
www.preventchildinjury.ca
This website has information on
What? So What? Now What?
and participants can sign up
to receive emails every few months on child safety. The emails are based on the child’s
date of birth so that they are timed with developmental milestones and use the
What? So
What? Now What?
questions as a prompt. Just register with an email address and enter the
child’s birth date. It is free and you can unsubscribe at any time.

Questions
Encourage participants to ask any outstanding question. There is additional child safety
information available to support you in having a strong foundation in childhood injury
prevention content within Appendix C. Also, you may come across the following:
Q Will my child still be able to play? I want them to be active.
A
Yes! Making your home safe helps avoid hazards and is not to stop your child from playing.
Play is important for a child’s growth and development. These tips are to help make your home
safe while your child learns, explores and plays.
