暑假已經開始了,小孩放假就最開心!可以安排活動,整個暑假陪伴著孩子,讓他們渡過最愉快的暑假時光當然很好,但事實很多家長們仍要繼續上班,親人未能協助,經濟上又未能允許找托管幫忙⋯⋯那麼其實可否去上班,然後獨留子女在家中?相信很多人想知道答案。

究竟英國的法例上,獨留子女在家中是犯法?
根據國家防止虐待兒童協會 (NSPCC) 的說法,法例上沒有規定將兒童單獨留在家中的法定年齡。然而,如果孩子被單獨留在家中時,發生危險或做成任何意外,父母便觸犯了法律。 所以假如父母想獨自留孩子在家中之前,應考慮各方面的因素。
首先考慮孩子們獨自在家的感覺,然後觀察孩子在無人監督的情況下有沒有能力解決問題,還要考慮到可能出現或面對的問題。大家可以參考一下,政府引用了NSPCC對於獨留子女在家中的建議:
- 嬰兒或年幼的孩子(8歲以下)
- 不應獨自留在家中
- 較成熟、有自理能力的12歲以下的兒童
- 可長時間獨自留在家中
- 16歲以下的年青人
- 可長時間獨自留在家中
- 但不應獨自留在家中過夜
你還需要為獨自在家的孩子做足準備:
- 電話📞
- 預備一部可聯絡外界的電話
- 告知孩子重要的電話號碼(工作電話號碼)
- 寫下屋企住址
- 鑰匙🔑
- 預備一套家中鑰匙
- 讓孩子有逃跑的機會(例如:火警發生)
- 向小孩說明,不應開門給陌生人
- 食物
- 預備足夠的食物
- 儘量預備簡單的食物,避免接觸火種
- 危險物品
- 危險物品理應收好
- 例如:剪刀、打火機、藥品等
