June is National Burns Awareness Month and aims to drive greater awareness of burns prevention and the correct first aid treatment for burns.
An initiative of Kidsafe, Australia’s leading community organisation dedicated to child injury prevention, National Burns Awareness Month is held in June each year as there is a significantly increased risk of burns during winter.
As part of National Burns Awareness Month, Kidsafe has developed a selection of BurnSafe learning resources for children. These are designed to educate children about how easily burns can happen, prevention strategies, making safe choices and burns first aid.
Most burn injuries are preventable and appropriate first aid can minimise the impact and severity of a burn injury. Children can play an important role in keeping themselves and their families safe.
Resources aimed at preschool aged children have been designed in line with the Early Years Framework and National Curriculum and can be found on the Kidsafe website. These include a hazard sorting game complete with guide and cards.
Look out for posts on the FDCA Facebook page sharing resources and information for National Burns Awareness Month.
