4 safekids news | September 2018 ISSUE No 80 WITH SAFEKIDS’ SAFETY WHARE ON TOUR More than 3,000 people have visited our Safekids’ Safety Whare across ten events to learn about child home safety this year. Charis MacDonald, Safekids’ Events and Marketing Coordinator says whānau members of all ages are intrigued by the Safety Whare and love to investigate. “Our Safety Whare is such an eye-catching exhibition at any event, many whānau are drawn to it as it allows tamariki and parents to be interactive while learning together about important home safety messages. It’s great to see the kids taking these safety messages on board. Over time we hope they become safety advocates in their own home.” The whare delivers messages through play and activity in the different zones and in each zone there’s a mix of tactile and digital experiences designed to help families and whānau be safer at home. Our thanks go out to the volunteers and hosts who have supported Safety Whare events through the year to date with all their hard work.
