We've put together some helpful tips to ensure you offer a safe and compliant system

At Evans Textiles, we take our responsibility to provide exceptional safety-regulated blind systems seriously, with a strong focus on Child Safety. As manufacturers, we hold ourselves accountable to our customers, striving to earn their trust. We take immense pride in ensuring that all our blind systems prioritise Child Safety, from sharing accessible guides on our website and social media to including safety labels, devices and instructions with every product. Sharing valuable advice on creating a Child Safe home environment is a priority for us.

Regularly checking your blinds is crucial, especially in areas frequented by children. It's essential to be mindful of the type of blinds used in specific rooms, particularly in a child's bedroom. Adhering to government regulations on blind safety is vital, as old blinds or those with long looped cords can pose significant risks to child safety.

We recommend verifying that your newly purchased blinds come equipped with child safety features. Our Roman Blinds, known for their popularity, boast unique breakaway technology specifically designed for Child Safety. It's important to note that our blind systems are legally required to include all necessary Child Safety features. If your current blinds do not meet these government standards, we offer individual components as well as our highly recommended, safest quality Roman Blinds.

Our child safety blinds are strategically installed out of reach from children, minimising the risk of young ones becoming entangled in the cord. For added security, we advise arranging your furniture away from blind cords and ensuring they're positioned in areas inaccessible to children who may attempt to climb to reach them.

Despite the precautionary measures and features we incorporate, blind chains and cords continue to pose a higher risk to Child Safety. We highly recommend upgrading to Motorised Operated systems as a safer alternative. One of the primary advantages of motorised blinds is their cordless design, eliminating the risk of cord strangulation. Instead, these blinds utilise advanced technology that can be voice-activated or controlled via a remote or digital app. Additionally, these contemporary blinds are equipped with timer sensitivity, further reducing the likelihood of accidents.

With our range of Child Safe blinds, we aim to mitigate the risk of cord strangulation and prevent tragedies involving young children. All safety products from Evans Textiles have undergone rigorous independent testing in accordance with the requirements of EN 16434.
