Child Safety Alert
As parents, you experience pressures and concerns not faced by previous generations. Despite these challenges, many parents make heroic efforts to raise healthy children in safe environments despite uncertain times. Child safety becomes paramount.
PTA offers you several tools to help you gauge potential risks and advice on giving clear instructions to your children on how to avoid such risks. Parents are not alone in making child safety a priority. Many school officials and community members are working with families to create a safe environment where children can flourish and grow, free from violence, drugs, gangs and other threats. With the necessary resources, support, and guidance, all of us can make a difference in our homes, schools and communities.
This is why National PTA has partnered with Consumer Reports and the National School Boards Association to form the School Safety Alert Program.
The School Safety Alert program located at www.consumerreports.org/schoolsafety will alert parents, school administrators, and educators immediately to imminent dangers and allow them to remove potentially dangerous even lethal products from their homes and schools.
