Electrical safety for children

Peace of mind for parents

Children are naturally curious, which makes it important to keep your home’s electrics safe. Simple steps include using plug socket covers (where suitable), keeping cords out of reach, and teaching children not to play with switches or appliances.

It’s also important to ensure your wiring and consumer unit are up to date, as older systems may not have the same safety protections. Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are particularly important as they cut off the power quickly if a fault is detected.

Taking a few precautions ensures that your little ones stay safe while they explore and grow.
