Kitchen safety for new parents
Welcome to the Kitchen Safety Project, an initiative brought to you by RoSPA and Fairy Non Bio. If you’re a new or expectant parent, we’re here to help you create a safe and secure kitchen environment for your little ones.
Why kitchen safety matters
The kitchen, often called the heart of the home, is also a hotspot for potential hazards, particularly for young children. From sharp objects to hot surfaces, various risks can pose a threat. We want to improve kitchen safety awareness among expectant parents and parents of infants, ensuring a secure environment for all families.
Top 5 things parents think about kitchen safety
We did some research with YouGov which gave us some great insights into the attitudes and behaviour of new and expectant parents on kitchen safety. The main things parents told us about kitchen safety were:
It's not always a conscious priority, especially during pregnancy
Many have experienced child-related kitchen accidents, with falls being
most common
Potential kitchen risks can be overlooked unless prompted by others
Securing hazards is often delayed until a child becomes more mobile
There's limited awareness of
dedicated advice channels
