British Blind Company in full support off BBSA's new Child Safety campaign

As full members of the British Blind and Shutter Association we are in full support of the new

Make It Safe Campaign for Child Safety

Child safety is always of paramount concern and the BBSA is urging homeowners and building users where children are present, to ensure they consider reducing potential risks associated with blind operating cords.

The BBSA and it’s members have been very active in developing simple, effective low-cost safety features that are suitable for all blinds. These include a safe way of securing cords by tension devices as well as connectors which simply pull apart should undue pressure be applied, but that can simply be connected again. There are also different operating methods and even window blinds which do not have looped operating cords, so there are lots of options available.

Many of the options offered can be retrofitted to existing blinds so you do not have to wait until you replace a blind to improve it’s safety.

British Blind Company are offering a free safety check where we will be happy to advise on which of the many safety devices available would best suit your requirements.
