Wake Up Wednesday: Electrical Safety
This week’s Wake Up Wednesday guide focuses on essential electrical safety habits that can help prevent overheating, fires, and other hazards linked to everyday devices.
The guide offers clear, practical advice for parents, carers, and educators, including:
- Spotting risks early – look out for damaged cables, overloaded sockets, and poorly ventilated devices.
- Safer charging habits – avoid leaving devices plugged in overnight and keep chargers in good condition.
- Protective measures – learn about RCDs (Residual Current Devices) and safe power bank use.
By modelling safe routines and encouraging conversations about electrical safety, we can create safer environments for young people at home and in school.
