BONUS EP. 2: School Aged Children: Keeping your farm kids safe (without wrapping them up in cotton wool).

When you live so far away from the nearest hospital and ambulance response times are blowing out... should you wait for an ambulance or take your child in to hospital yourself?  Also, how do you know you're not being overly anxious about your kids going out on the farm?These are just some of the questions we explore in episode two of our summer mini series on child farm safety. This episode focuses on safety and first aid for children aged between 5 and 15.  Intensive care paediatric nurses and rural mums, Sarah Duncanson and Grace Larson, from PAEDs Education discuss the most common farm accidents for school aged children and how to prevent them. Meanwhile, Gemma Cramer, a rural mum in Nhill, shares her story of how her son was injured in a farm accident, in a safety risk many of us don't even know about.This 3-part series is a collaboration with PAEDS Education. The final episode focuses on older teenagers.
