Kidsafe and Archicentre are urging home owners throughout both metropolitan and country Victoria to conduct a safety audit on their homes for the upcoming school holidays.

Dr Mark Stokes, President of Kidsafe Victoria, said, “School holidays are generally a time when there are more visitors to the home; and usual routines are interrupted with extra activity. This can lead to reduced supervision by parents and carers and an increased danger of a child becoming injured.”
