SAY NO TO POISONS!

A “Say No to Poisons!” storybook and activity pack for pre-school children has been developed by the National Poisons Information Centre in collaboration with County Carlow VEC, the Health Service Executive and Early Childhood Ireland.  The Minister for Children & Youth Affairs, Ms Frances Fitzgerald, launched the book at the Early Childhood Ireland conference in Dublin, on Irelands first Poisons Awareness Day (20th April 2012).  The book is one element in a learning and teaching resource being made available to preschools throughout Ireland.  Click here to view the "Say No to Poisons!" materials.

Our thanks to the HSE, Early Childhood Ireland and Carlow VEC Adult and Further Education for their support for this project.  A special thank you to the staff and children in Carlow VEC Childcare Centre who piloted the storybook and related activities.
