At Fred, safety isn't just a priority; it's our unwavering passion. Our journey began with a simple question: How "Safe" is "Safe Enough"? In the realm of children's home safety, innovation has been stagnant for decades. As parents, we grew frustrated with underperforming products, recognising the need for a superior approach.

The Statistics

Childhood accidents present a significant health concern, contributing to preventable deaths, severe injuries, and long-term disabilities throughout the UK.

Children under 5 face a heightened risk of home accidents, with falls dominating non-fatal incidents and threats like suffocation, strangulation, and choking causing the highest fatality rates.

While the living/dining room hosts the highest number of accidents, the kitchen and stairs witness the most severe incidents.

Each year, over 67,000 children encounter kitchen accidents, with 43,000 of them aged 0-4, and over 58,000 experience stair-related incidents.
