Replying to @SafeTeaCampaign
@SafeTeaCampaign have launched a UK-wide campaign to tackle the most common cause of burns to young children. Parents are being urged to take care with hot drinks and ensure they are kept out of reach of young children. ow.ly/qoJE50xCWvt

As we reach the festive season, read gr8 blog on #SafeTea update – a national prevention campaign to reduce scalds from hot drinks to children under 5 years and to improve first aid of children who have been burned bit.ly/36Hn51c @SafeTeaCampaign #healthvisiting

Have fun this Christmas but make sure hot drinks like mulled wines and hot chocolate are out of reach of children! #givethegiftofsafety

A hot drink remains hot enough to cause burn injuries for longer than you may think. Even 20 minutes after a hot drink is made, it is still hot enough to cause a hot drink burn. #SafeTea

When cooling a hot drink burn, it is vital to ensure you remove all jewellery close to the burn site. Metal jewellery holds in heat and can cause problems if the burn site swells. #SafeTea #CoolCallCover

Burn first aid is vital, as it reduces the amount of medical treatment that is needed if your child does obtain a hot drink burn. #CoolCallCover #SafeTea

The British drink around 165 million cups of tea a day. With every hot drink, there is a risk of hot drink burns, especially with young children around. The solution is simple - keep hot drinks out of reach. #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

Even hot drinks with lids on can spill hot liquid further than you think. Takeaway hot drinks are just as dangerous as hot drinks in mugs. Watch our thermal imaging video to see why! #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

Did you know, pulling a hot cup of tea or coffee from a surface within reach is the most common way that toddlers are burned #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

Cooling the burn still helps up to THREE hours after the burn injury occurs. This is because the skin continues to burn even after the hot item has been removed. #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

It is important to remember to COOL the burn, not ICE the burn. Ice can make the burn worse and cause increased scarring, as it may damage the nerve endings further.

Regardless of the severity of a burn, ALWAYS cool the burn for at least 20 minutes. This will also help to reduce the pain associated with the burn. If you do not cool the burn, the skin will continue burning. #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

Burn first aid is so simple, and yet it can stop a child obtaining lifelong scarring and medical treatment. The more adults that are aware of burn first aid, the less likely it is that children will obtain extensive scarring. #SafeTea #CoolCallCover

DID YOU KNOW: One year old children are the most likely to obtain a hot drink burn #SafeTea #BeBurnAware

To help protect your child, it is a great idea to create a Hot Drinks Policy at home. This means you ensure hot drinks and kettles are kept in an area that is away from children. The Hot Drink Policy should also be explained to visitors. #SafeTea #SafeTeaZone #BeBurnAware

Children are most at risk of obtaining a burn injury when you are in a hurry, entertaining, unwell, tired or stressed. Take a minute to yourself and enjoy your hot drink away from children #SafeTea #BeBurnAware
