0-19 Service: The Dangers of Button Batteries

In episode 63 of The MPFT Podcast, Carol and Caroline (both Health Visitors with the Families Health and Wellbeing Service 0-19) talk about the dangers of button batteries. They share great advice and information about why they are dangerous, what parents and carers can do to keep their children safe, and what action to take if a button battery is swallowed. Finally they encourage you to do a button battery hunt in your own home. Further information about button battery safety can be found on the Child Accident Prevention Trust and Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents websites.
