Code Red Rover, Grown-Up Come Over! - Home Safety Video
About the Program Led by the Home Safety Council’s mascot Rover, the Home Safety Hound, this free home safety curriculum teaches children about the importance of safe practices at home and how to prevent the leading causes of home injuries. Safety Rangers Say No to Dangers and the Code Red Rover, Grownup Come Over video will help students learn to spot common home dangers and take action with parents and caregivers to correct them. This latest program is part of an ongoing partnership between the Home Safety Council and Weekly Reader that has already produced several award-winning safety curricula for elementary school classrooms. Safety Rangers Say No to Dangers will be made available to thousands of students nationwide thanks in part to financial support from OSRAM SYLVANIA, Lowe’s and the Alcoa Foundation, three of the Home Safety Council’s leading sponsors.
