Choking hazards

Choking happens very quickly and it can happen to anyone. Every year hundreds of children require hospital treatment from choking in the UK and unfortunately on average one dies every month. The Food Standard Agency have issued 2 useful posters which can be displayed within your setting wherever food is prepared or served to help reduce the risk; Choking Hazards and Food Safety Advice.

 

The Food safety page on the Help for early years providers website provides EYFS guidance, more in depth information plus more useful resources.
