Hi

I basically looked at each age group and made a note of how they could hurt themselves unless certain safety measures were taken e.g. a 0-1 year old will be able to move so do not leave them on their own on a bed or a changing unit, keep doors or safety gates closed, be aware of them crawling towards steps have safety gates, also harnesses always to be used on high chairs.

1-3 year old using safety harness when going out on walks, supervising them closely on slides and on larger play equipment, its really every day risk assessments we do without really thinking about them.

Hope this helps
