Hot drinks are the leading cause of burns to children in the UK*
We are so grateful to Laura and Gracie and family for sharing their story to show just how easily and quickly a hot drink accident can happen. A child can grab or knock over a drink in seconds and how you react and deal with the incident can have a lasting impact.
Gracie's family had taken a Mini First Aid class with Emily Mini First Aid Warwickshire, Coventry, Tamworth & Lutterworth - their learning had stuck and they did all the right things, and now Gracie is a thriving toddler with no visible burn scars.
