Blind Cord Safety

I have just discovered Mumsnet on the advice of a council employee who agrees with my cause but cannot help me. My son got a blind cord around his neck at nursery and suffered a nasty friction burn, it could have been so much worse and every day i thank my lucky stars. I am working on getting justice for my son, although as a single full time working mum to two it is challenging to find the time! Please share this link everywhere you can, 22 children have died as a result of blind cord strangulation since 1999 in the UK alone. We can make a difference and try to make sure no other parents have to suffer this loss, thank you.

Hello Tianc. So sorry to hear about what happened to your son. How terrifying!

And yes, we do have plans to publish some child-safety content in the near future - and it will definitely include something about cord-blind safety.

We'll also get in touch with RoSPA and see if there's any useful/timely way we could work together on this.
