| Accreditations. |
Our reputation is of utmost importance to us, and we believe
that membership and involvement with professional bodies within
the field of Safety, brings enormous benefits to you, our customers.
We have summarised these affiliations below, and included some
specific details of initiatives we are either involved with or
actively promoting through our business.
We would be happy to discuss any of these at your convenience.

Member of the Baby Products Association:
Membership of the Baby Products Association is not automatic
for suppliers within the nursery sector. Fully paid up membership
however, brings us important information regarding changes happening
within the industry, especially with regard to developing standards.
We think it is important for our clients to be aware of any
issue’s surrounding safety items and so believe it is
in their interest for us to retain membership. |
|
Member of the British Standards Institute:
The whole foundation of the basis for safe products leads from
BSI. In our independent testing of safety gates, we chose the
same test house as is used and recommended to us by BSI. There
is no other supplier who has chosen to independently test products
for which controversy exists. (See RoSPA random test results).
This is a costly exercise, however we believe it can only be
in our client’s best interests to do so. |
|
Associate Member of the Institute of Road
Safety Officers:
The IRSO is an invaluable source of information, initiatives
and best practice for improving Road safety. They provide guidance
on present and pending legislation at a national and local level
through training and workshop activities. |
|
Member of RoSPA:
RoSPA are the UK’s premier body relating to safety both
in the home and on the roads.
Membership makes data, information, training opportunities and
initiatives available to us, which can very often be useful
to our customers. We regularly attend the RoSPA congresses and
make available, an executive summary for the benefit of our
clients. |
|
Executive Member of the Institute of Home Safety:
Carol is currently the communications Officer for the Institute,
and is privileged to have the opportunity to attend National
Home Safety Meetings on the IHS’s behalf.
Again, this has bought home some of the challenges faced by
the projects, enabling Kid Rapt to best offer solutions that
could benefit our clients.
An example of this is the targeting of high rates of falls in
pre-mobile children. Kid Rapt has now developed a folding changing
mat, with integral safety information highlighting the risks
of not changing baby on the floor.
It is only by attending safety meetings can we offer practical
solutions to some of these types of issues. |
|
Suppliers to RoSPA and CAPT:
We have been privileged in the past to have been asked to provide
equipment to both the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
and the Child Accident Prevention trust. This gives you, our
clients, the reassurance that you ca obtain references from
the countries two leading accident prevention groups, about
our performance. |
|
Advisors to SWERCOTS:
The South Western and Eastern Region of Co-ordinating Officers
of Trading Standards invited Kid Rapt to participate and advise
in the making of a recent video with regard to safe pre-purchasing
advice on nursery equipment. To work with Trading Standards
at this level has given us an excellent understanding of the
issues concerning their departments, on the supply of safe products.
Please feel free to ask for references as to why they chose
Kid Rapt. |
