The Children’s Charter Standard defines all the issues that need to be considered when assessing establishments for door finger entrapment and fire door integrity. This is contributing hugely towards eradicating the misery of disabling injuries presented by closing doors.

Unsuitable safety measures leave people at risk of injury and worse still if fire doors are allowed to become impeded by incorrectly fitted or unsuitable shields. In addition, a door’s fire rating integrity could be compromised through the use of perforating fixings.

A risk assessment needs to be carried out by a competent (qualified) Health and Safety Advisor who is additionally a Children’s Charter accredited door safety specialist. It has been proven that anything less is likely to lead to injury, liability and wasted investment.

Contact Safety Assured on 01708 855 777 to discuss your requirements and we will make an appointment to visit at a time to suit you.

Good Health and safety advisors usually recognise that although they are qualified to advise, they are not specialist in the field of door safety. Because of this factor avoidable injury to children has continued. To reduce risk and injury, Children’s Charter (a community interest company) evolved a Door Safety Standard to help those ultimately responsible for safety to feel comfortable about meeting their duty of care through certified risk assessments, installation of appropriate products and after care that genuinely meets statutory UK requirements. The Standard also dictates that the risk assessment, installation and maintenance is to be carried out by competent persons. Children’s Charter co-ordinates door safety accreditation of risk assessors and safe products to their Standard based upon protecting the rights of children who rely upon adults making decisions to keep them safe.

To meet statutory requirements the shields should be checked regularly and risk assessed at least once a year. At this point the annual Children’s Charter compliance certification will be issued to the site to show that those responsible for the premises have taken every step needed to meet their duty of care.

The name is a strap line that we currently use in our promotional material to highlight the importance, especially to children, of having all of their fingers and thumbs. Fine motor movements involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers. Strong fine motor skills are essential to complete tasks such as writing, cutting, using a fork or spoon, threading beads, moving puzzle pieces, zipping, buttoning, and tying shoe laces. Without well-developed fine motor skills, a child may have difficulty learning to write or performing many of the other critical tasks presented in their early formative years.
