Shutters are the Ultimate Window Dressing For Child Safety
Window Shutters are Intrinsically Child Safe
The risks associated with window blinds are something every parent should consider. When choosing the ideal window covering for their home and family safety needs to be a priority. Hazardous looped operating cords, tapes and chains used on many blinds, have caused the death of more than 360 children and injured thousands more.
However, Window Shutters are intrinsically child safe. Young children, naturally, love to touch everything around them. Shutters, unlike curtains and blinds, do not have any dangerous cords and are securely fitted, so there is no chance of them falling down or causing injury.
Make It Safe
Make it Safe is a campaign from the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) to promote window blind safety in all homes, public buildings, and other environments where babies and young children may be present.

SAFE BY DESIGN
The BBSA advocates plantation shutters as one of the best forms of window dressing as they are ‘Safe By Design’ and therefore should always be considered first when choosing a window covering.
