Current challenges in child safety
The frequency of child accidents remains at a consistently high level. According to a representative survey by the Federal Working Group (BAG) More Safety for Children. Last year, over one in three families in Germany had at least one child who needed medical treatment after an accident. Clean Kids reported that falls were the most common cause of accidents, followed by cuts and crush injuries.
Child Safety Day, to be held on June 10, 2025, aims to provide parents and caregivers with information on accident prevention and safety technologies. The BAG attaches particular importance to products that are safe and free of harmful substances and provides digital educational offerings, such as the “Child Safe!” app. This app offers parents tips on how to avoid accidents and is available for free in app stores.
A need for better information
Despite the BAG's efforts, 40 percent of parents feel poorly informed when it comes to product safety. Over half of parents get their product safety information online, with many relying on trusted sources. In view of the current tragedies like in Pinneberg, it is essential that more security is created and parents receive the necessary information to protect their children. BioEnergy shows how important educational work is in this area.
The events in Pinneberg are a harsh reminder that we all, from parents to manufacturers, have to show a good hand when it comes to the safety of our children. Only through joint efforts can we ensure that such accidents are avoided in the future.
