THE SAFETY WHARE
Safekids Aotearoa's Safety Whare is a travelling exhibition that will visit communities throughout New Zealand in 2017, to raise awareness about the leading injuries in tamariki; those that happen in the home.
The Safety Whare was made possible with funding from Starship Foundation and brought to communities by Mobil.
To find out where the Safety Whare is going to be, visit the Home Safety page on our website.
