child accident

What to do if your child has an accident?

  • Try to keep calm
  • Quickly examine the child for injury, without moving them
  • If they are unconscious, put them into the recovery position
  • If your child is bleeding, has lost consciousness (even if only briefly), has major injuries, possible abdominal injuries or may have inhaled smoke, call for urgent medical help
  • Remember, if in doubt, check it out – never hesitate to take your child to a hospital if you’re worried

For more information please contact your local GP.
