Great Britain Sending Inspectors Into People’s Homes To Make Sure They’re Safe For Children
I wonder how the children of Great Britain ever survived before they had government bureaucrats inspecting their homes for safety.
Health and safety inspectors are to be given unprecedented access to family homes to ensure that parents are protecting their children from household accidents.
New guidance drawn up at the request of the Department of Health urges councils and other public sector bodies to “collect data” on properties where children are thought to be at “greatest risk of unintentional injury”.
Council staff will then be tasked with overseeing the installation of safety devices in homes, including smoke alarms, stair gates, hot water temperature restrictors, oven guards and window and door locks…
Nice also recommends the creation of a new government database to allow GPs, midwives and other officials who visit homes to log health and safety concerns they spot.
The guidance aims to “encourage all practitioners who visit families and carers with children and young people aged under 15 to provide home safety advice and, where necessary, conduct a home risk assessment”. It continues: “If possible, they should supply and install home safety equipment.”
The proposals have been put out to consultation and, if approved, will be implemented next year.
This is what happens in societies that are almost entirely dependent on government. In Great Britain they have cradle to grave government health care. Hell, they’ve got a television tax that funds state-owned media.
If you think this could never happen in America you’re fooling yourself. Once you abdicate your personal responsibility for things like health to the government the door is open for the government to come in and regulate your life for you.
For your own good.
