Electrical Safety

TEACHING CHILDREN TO BE SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE AROUND ELECTRIC ITEMS

Using electrical equipment on a daily basis is something your children are probably used to by now, with many getting pretty tech-savvy. However, many children, although confident with using electrical equipment, may not yet fully understand how and why electricity can be dangerous. At Chesswood we are keen to encourage children to use electrical items to create interested and curious learners but want to make sure that they know how to use these safely both at home and school.
