Around 100 people die from accidents in the home every year in Denbighsire and Conwy and Safehome.org.uk has been set up to tackle the problem.which particularly effects the under 18s and older people.

The site is being launched with a local radio advertising campaign during National Child Safety Week which runs until Saturday.

Today (Wednes-day) older people can find out how the site works by going along to the West Rhyl Communities First at the Rhyl Youth Café at 4pm.

Also at the Rhyl event, STARS (Safety Tolerance Awareness Regeneration and Security) and the Fire Service will be on hand to advise on any safety concerns. The organisation Children in Wales has provided a grant towards promotional material.

Denbighshire County Council’s lead member for Health and Wellbeing, Councillor Pauline Dobb, said: “Every year in Denbighshire and Conwy there are over 100 deaths as a result of accidents, the majority of which occur in the home.

“Injuries also result in about 4,000 visits to hospital accident and emergency for those aged under 18 in Denbighshire, and so I am delighted to promote the SafeHome initiative.”
