Child Safety

We are proud to be members of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) and fully support the Make It Safe campaign.

As an accredited member of the BBSA we have been closely involved in the Make It Safe campaign and the changes required in the way internal blinds are made, sold and professionally installed.

All our blinds are supplied with the necessary safety features including safety devices to reduce the risk of any cords or chains forming a hazardous loop. We observe the maximum cord and chain lengths and provide all the instructions as laid down by the European standards.

Roman and Roller Blinds

If you order your blinds online then they will be supplied with the neccessary child safety chain breaks..

All our blinds are supplied with warning notices and full instructions for fitting.

If you order your blinds in store then we will be able to advise you on the most suitable blinds and blind control options. We have on display a large selection of blinds for you to view.

Other blinds

We only deal with suppliers who conform to the child safety legislation therefore you can be confident if you order your venetian, vertical or any other blinds from us they will conform to the child safety legislation.  There are extensive ranges of products that are safe by design, meaning that they do not use operating cords or chains or have concealed or tensioned cords.

Fitting

Just Fabrics Fitters

If you live within a 25 mile radius of one of our stores and have elected to have one of our professional fitters to fit your blinds you can be assured that this will be done conforming to the child safety legislation.  You will also be asked to sign a form stating that the fitter has explained the safety features to you and have also pointed out the warning notices that will be attached to the blind.

All professional installers of internal blinds must fit safety devices – by law.

Fitting yourself

Instructions will be provided with your blind. We strongly advise you fit all safety devices provided.

Advice

If fitting a blind in a child’s room move beds, cots, highchairs and playpens away from window covering cords and chains.

Move furniture away from window covering cords and chains as children love to climb.

Make sure all cords and chains are always secured out of reach of babies and young children.  Do not tie cords and chains together.  Make sure cords and chains do not twist and create a loop.
