Services transporting children are familiar with prioritising Look Before You Lock checking routines to protect children in their care.
It is important to communicate this life saving message to families to build into their routines for the family vehicle at home.
This means creating a routine of checking the back seat, even if they know their child is not with them. This can help avoid leaving a child in a vehicle unintentionally.
It is important to discuss this with every person who transports a child. This includes partners, grandparents, babysitters and friends.
This mental checklist needs to be done routinely, each and every time.
To help explain this important message, services have received printed materials to share with families. If you didn’t receive a pack, you can
