National Burn Awareness Day is over. These risks haven’t gone away. With Bonfire Night approaching, keep firework safety on the agenda, alongside the everyday burn risks children encounter at home. Keep being burn aware. cbtrust.org.uk/get-informed/ #beburnsaware #nbad2026

Behind every statistic is a child and family. Numbers help us understand the scale of childhood burn injuries. They can’t show the treatment, rehabilitation and impact behind each one. We’re sharing some of those experiences. cbtrust.org.uk/ #beburnsaware #nbad2026

We couldn't agree more about the importance of prevention. We'd also love everyone to know what to do if a burn does happen, because those first 20 minutes really matter. Have you heard of Cool. Call. Cover? 💙 cbtrust.org.uk/get-informed/… #BeBurnsAware

First Aid

Good first aid following a burn or scald can make an enormous difference in recovery times and the severity of scarring. Two important things to remember are STOP, DROP, ROLL and COOL, CALL, COVER.

Before using a hot water bottle, take a moment to check it. - Check for signs of wear, damage or leaks - Check the flower symbol to find when it was made - Replace your hot water bottle at least every 2 years - Never fill it with boiling water tinyurl.com/56rt7n75 #nbad2026

Fireworks can cause serious burn injuries, the best way to enjoy fireworks is at organised displays. Always supervise children around fireworks, follow safety instructions, never return to a firework once it has been lit. Fireworks safety: tinyurl.com/39wdcuc2 #nbad2026

Firework-related injuries to children have risen by 63%. But hot drinks remain the leading cause of burns to young children. Keep hot drinks well out of reach and away from the edges of tables and worktops. cbtrust.org.uk/get-informed/… #beburnsaware #nbad2026
