Keeping Kiwi Kids Safe On Driveways By Allen Realty

Allen Realty have recently posted a blog regarding their innovative and philanthropic idea of developing and handing out hang tags to all new Allen Realty tenants. As they explain in their blog, “A recent spate of tragic driveway accidents has moved Allen Realty property managers to develop "hang tags" which aim to increase safety awareness around driveways. The hang tags deliver the simple message ‘Stop! Look for kids when you’re reversing’ and can be hung on rear vision mirrors and door handles.

“New Zealand has devastating statistics of children involved in driveway accidents with around 25 children seriously injured and five deaths per year. Most of the children in these incidents are run over by relatives and are aged around two years old.  Safekids Aotearoa, the child injury prevention service of Starship Children's Health, provides resources and information on preventing driveway accidents and advises drivers to know where the kids are before getting in the car, to check for children before driving off and to always supervise children around vehicles. They also advise that play areas be kept separate from driveways.  Plunket also provides road and driveway safety tips to help keep your kids safe.”
The hang tags are given to all new Allen Realty tenants, as many driveway accidents occur in rental properties and Allen Realty property managers are also using the tags in their cars and are proud to be doing their bit to help keep our kids safe.
