Why Every Child Needs a Safety ID Tag at School

Why Every Child Needs a Safety ID Tag at School

When children head off to school, parents and carers want to feel confident they’re safe, supported and cared for. While schools work hard to keep track of every child’s needs, emergencies can happen anywhere — in classrooms, playgrounds or on excursions. That’s where a safety ID tag becomes an essential tool.

1. Visible Medical Information Saves Precious Time

In urgent moments, every second counts. A safety ID tag makes allergy alerts, medical conditions and medications instantly visible to teachers, carers and first responders.

A safety ID tag ensures:
✔️ Allergy alerts are seen immediately
✔️ Medical conditions are clearly displayed
✔️ Emergency contacts are always accessible

2. Peace of Mind for Parents, Carers & Educators

Safety ID tags don’t just protect children — they also reassure adults. Knowing a child’s vital details are always on hand allows teachers to focus on teaching, and parents to feel confident while their child is away.

With safety ID tags, you get:
✔️ Confidence that emergency contacts are close at hand
✔️ Reassurance that health details won’t be overlooked
✔️ Extra support for educators managing busy classrooms

👉 Our Day Out Safety Bundle combines timber tags with stickers for clothing and for property, to cover belongings, classroom items and on person.
