AIBU to move the first aid kit to a low cupboard?

First aid kit and medicines have always been on a shelf "out of reach" of the DC.
They are now 9&12 and the 12 year old is almost as tall as me. I want to move all the first aid kit, including medicines to a low cupboard in the living room to free up space in the cupboard where they currently are. Is there a reason I shouldn't do this?

I wouldn’t- to be honest even at older teen ages I think I would keep things like paracetamol out of reach/ locked. Maybe I’m paranoid but it’s not worth the risk. Lots of adults don’t even realise the risk of accidental paracetamol over dose, especially with things like lemsip. I certainly wouldn’t trust my 8 year old to remember dose times / spacing them out correctly.
Do you have older teens yourself? Just mine that are taller than me then? I call my ds to reach things down for me! Plus, old enough to buy their own anyway! Stop babying them.

I've sent secondary school kids into school with one dose of paracetamol for lunch time if they need it. (When they've had a sore throat or yukky cold.) They aren't babies and are good at looming after themselves.
