Prevent Childhood Falls

Every year, more than 700 children under 4 years old are admitted to BC hospitals due to falls. Of these, more than half have head or brain injuries.

 

While most of us think our homes are a safe place for children, 80% of falls that injure young children happen at home.

 

Falls can be prevented. Learn more about keeping your children safe at home, while out biking and at the playground.
