As the summer holidays approach, it’s likely that families and children will be at home more frequently and spending a bit more time in the kitchen.
Whether they’re lending a hand or simply seeking a snack, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service (WFRS) is sharing tips and information to help keep children safe while in the kitchen.
Cooking is a great activity with the family and involving children gives an opportunity to educate them about the risks and potential dangers that can be found. As part of the Fire Kills campaign, WFRS is encouraging parents and carers to make any kitchen activities a chance for kids to learn about cooking safety.
Warwickshire County Councillor, Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Fire, Andy Crump said:
“Involving children in the kitchen is great learning experience for them and gives parents and carers the chance to teach important safety skills around cooking fire safety.
“Staying safe is a key priority for us and starting those skills early is invaluable for our young people.”
