Check understanding
- Point to a poison or hazard symbol on a household product and say 'don't touch — tell an adult'
- Find health and safety signs around school (e.g. hand-washing, first aid, exit or sun-safe signs) and say what each tells people to do
- Match a community health message to the strategy it supports (e.g. a sun-safe poster to wearing a hat)
“When your child sees a poison symbol on a bottle or a hand-washing sign, do they know what it means and what to do?”
