Whare Kahikā Home Safety App
Whare Kahikā Home Safety App
- Whare Kahikā is a home safety app that helps you identify potential injury risks to children in your home.
The Whare Kahikā Home Safety App is for everyone who has children/tamariki living in or visiting their home. The app provides a complete home checklist for families/whānau to help keep young children safe from serious injuries like falls, drowning and incidents on the road.
The app works on a room-by-room basis. For each room of your home, you will be taken through a series of questions. After a check of each room has been completed, you will get a personalised checklist of items needed to make the recommended changes.
As you click through the checklist for each area, a list appears of the devices you can use to make the areas safer. Selecting the information tabs will show you where these devices can be purchased and at what cost, eg, window stays to prevent window falls.
To learn more about this app tool, go to the website(external link), Google Play(external link), or App Store(external link).
