Alliance Position Statements

Tap water scalds

The European Child Safety Alliance has released a position statement and backgrounder on the danger of tap water scalds. The statement is supported by several international organisations and national partners from more than 20 European countries. Severe and life-threatening tap water scalds happen in a few seconds.

Baby walkers

ECSA and ANEC have released a joint position statement and background paper about the risk of injuries to young children caused by baby walkers. The position statement is supported by ECSA and ANEC country partners, representing expert organisations from over 30 EU countries who are concerned about this product's use. In many European countries, baby walkers are linked to more injuries than any other type of nursery equipment, causing an unacceptably high number of severe falls, burns and scalds, and poisonings.
