Kitchen Safety for Parents

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.
