**Happy Feet** · 17-02-2009, 09:48 PM

I'm a bit stuck on my risk assessment for my living/dining room.....i'm looking around and can't see much of a risk anywhere!!

Can someone give me ideas of what as to go on a risk assessment for living rooms??

Depends what's in there

Do you have a fire? Is there a fireguard?

Usual socket covers, trailing wires from TV, Hifi etc

Plants? Ornaments?

Rugs?

Furniture - no low level glass or sharp corners

HTH's

Thanks Miffy!

I guess because I have 2 little girls who are 11 months old and 3 years old I have spent the last couple of years completely safe guarding my house!!!

They both are very inquisitive so i have HAD to make sure it ultra safe!!!

Batteries in the remote controls... falling off the sofa... things that can be dragged and climbed on... drinks not on the floor or edge of surfaces... windows safe... window ledge not climbed on...

I am also doing this this week for my homework on my course, I have been onto the Bromley Childminding site and they have got some really good tips if that is any help to you!

Good luck
