Drowning
Children can drown in less than 3cm of water so they should always be under constant supervision when in or near any water.
‘Never leave your child in the bath unsupervised, even for a moment and even if he or she has an older sibling to watch them,’ says Sheila. Don’t leave uncovered bowls or buckets of water around the home and paddling pools should be emptied and stored away when not in use. If you have a garden pond, it should be securely fenced off and take special care when visiting other people’s gardens.
