Welcome to Family Hubs Leicestershire
At the heart of our communities, our Family Hubs have been established to support families, children and young people across Leicestershire. Working with partner organisations our Hubs provide a one-stop shop and offer advice, information and resources to help families navigate every stage of life; from pregnancy, through your child’s early years, later childhood and into young adulthood.
Button battery safety
More household items contain button batteries than you might think, such as tv remotes, key fobs, Christmas/Diwali lights, kitchen scales, hearing aids and even children’s toys. You can help prevent accidents by keeping these items out of reach of small children where possible and making sure all battery compartments are securely shut and can't be opened by children.
If you think your child has swallowed a button battery, you should go to A&E or call 999 immediately.
