Now we’re in the summer months, with (hopefully) some warmer weather, it’s likely that you will be opening your windows more often. Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe:

·         Ensure your windows have restrictors or limiters in place and working correctly. These stop windows being opened more than a small amount and can prevent incidents.

·         Do not remove or tamper with your window restrictors for any reason. They have been installed for your safety.

·         We strongly suggest that children do not operate restrictors or limiters. If your restrictors/ have been removed or damaged, report this immediately.

·         Encourage children to play at a safe distance from windows.

·         Keep furniture or items that can be climbed on, such as beds and sofas, away from windows. Make sure nothing can be pushed up to the window and used as a step.

·         Keep windows closed and locked when possible, or when children are unsupervised

·         Keep windows no more than four inches open when children are in the room

·         Ensure you know where windows keys are located in the event of a fire
