- Who is the Child Safety at Home poster for?

- When should you use the Child Safety at Home poster?
- Get down to their height and look. You see a different room from there. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Child Safety at Home belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Child Safety at Home?
