Child Safety Week is the annual campaign run by the Child Accident Prevention Trust which takes place this week and West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is supporting the campaign using striking graphics which illustrate the dangers youngsters can face in the home and great outdoors.

Firefighters are also visiting schools during the week to speak directly to pupils, their teachers and parents about how to keep safe – especially as the school holidays are just around the corner.

Since the turn of the millennium, 118 youngsters have been injured in fires across West Yorkshire started by chip pans and 92 more have been injured by other cooking-related fires.
