Child Safe-T - please take note
of this if you are a responsible parent
One of the biggest problems for the emergency services is trying to identify unconscious
or confused people to whom they have to attend, including children. This was one of the primary
issues raised by paramedics and emergency medical technicians to whom we spoke at
the recent Ambex 2007 exhibition in Harrogate when it was pointed
out to us that it took 8 hours
for medical staff to locate the parents of an 8 year
old girl admitted to the Accident and Emergency department of one of the hospitals
in Yorkshire.
How can this help my child?
The registered child member is issued with a series of keyrings bearing:
- their name
- member id
- and
the number of our support centre to call in the event of an emergency.
The
idea is for the emergency services staff to call us to find out more about your
child, including your in case of emergency contact (ICE) details. These keyrings
can be clipped to house keys, car keys, rucksacks, jackets, or anything else associated
with the member.
Carrying a credit card-sized ID card, or wearing a Talisman is fine, but what happens
if these items are removed from your person, either lost or stolen? Having
multiple keyrings on your person, particularly when these are attached to clothing,
makes the job of the emergency services identifying you much easier.
A
similar service is applicable for people suffering from Alzheimers,
dementia, or for those who have difficulty in communicating with others.
with no hidden costs.
This service is so new that our registration website is not yet ready to accept
on-line subscriptions. Contact us to
ask about the Child Safe-T service.
