RoSPA's mission is to save lives and reduce injuries
The father of blind cord victim Muireann McLaughlin is helping the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) to launch Gaelic safety advice on the anniversary of her tragic death.
Organisations keen to participate in the RoSPA Awards 2012 but fearing they have missed their opportunity can rest assured because there are extended deadlines for achievement awards that will be presented at the Scotland ceremony or sent out by post.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents welcomes the inclusion of four explicit accident prevention indicators in the new Public Health Outcomes Framework, but says the challenge now is to ensure local authorities and healthcare commissioning groups give them the attention they warrant.
A popular campaign has helped more than 12,000 families in Scotland to cut the risk of toddlers being accidentally strangled in their home by blind cords.
The deadline for organisations to register their interest in becoming local partners for a national carbon monoxide awareness programme has been extended until the end of the month.
With Christmas just around the corner, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is encouraging people to take a moment to think about the safety of their home for any visitors - particularly young children - who might be dropping in during the festive period.
