🎆 Firework Safety on New Year's Eve 🎇
As we enjoy the sparkle and excitement of fireworks, let’s remember that children’s safety comes first.
Here are some key tips to keep your celebrations safe and joyful:
👶 Keep a safe distance – Always watch fireworks from afar. Children should never handle fireworks, including sparklers, which burn at extremely high temperatures.
🧥 Dress appropriately – Wrap up warm and avoid loose clothing that could catch fire.
👂 Protect little ears – Fireworks can be loud and frightening. Consider ear defenders for younger children.
👀 Supervise at all times – Never leave children unattended near fireworks.
🚑 Know what to do in an emergency – Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby, and know how to contact emergency services.
Let’s make this New Year's Eve safe, fun, and memorable for all the right reasons. 💙

Alcohol and drug abuse by a parent can have serious consequences for both the parent and their children. Here are some key points to consider:
Impact on Parenting and Child Well-being
Emotional and Physical Neglect: Substance misuse often affects a parent's ability to provide consistent care, leading to neglect of basic needs.
Safety Risks: Impaired judgment can result in unsafe environments for children, including exposure to violence or accidents.
Emotional Harm: Children may experience anxiety, depression, or behavioural issues due to instability at home.
Developmental Impact: Long-term exposure can affect a child’s cognitive and social development.
