Common misconception
Medicine is always ok for us as it makes us feel better if we are sick.
Unless the medicine is given to us by a doctor or pharmacist, it could make us more ill. We must only ever take medicine if a trusted adult has said it is ok to do so.
Teacher tip
Create a homework task where pupils identify dangers in their homes. With the help of a trusted adult, or working as a group, go around the school identifying where similar dangers are in the school environment.
