Safety at a Glance Fact Sheets
The purpose of the At a Glance Fact Sheets are to give parents and caregivers the most important injury prevention tips for each age and stage of childhood development: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-3 years, 3-5 years and 5-9 years. As you can imagine, the injury risks are quite different for a newborn baby and a school age child; we give the top safety tips to consider for each age group at home, on the road and at play.
The fact sheets are available in a growing list of languages; see the table below and the links on the right hand side of this page. So far, we offer the set of 5 resources in English, French, Arabic, Farsi, Somali and Tigrinia.
