Mansfield District Council, GB Child Safety Equipment Pilot
In Progress
Childcare centers in the district conduct initial home safety assessments for their clients. Families needing home upgrades are referred to the council's housing team for more detailed evaluations. The program offers free equipment and installation ranging from safety gates for stairs to bath mats. Council officials prioritize low-income households and focus on the most common causes of accidental injury in children including burns, choking, and falls.
