Child Safety Wristbands & Kid’s Wristbands for Identification

Child safety wristbands play a key role in helping to keep larger groups of children safe on school trips, holidays or away days. Made from smooth tear-resistant paper our kids wristbands have a space for writing contact details in case a child becomes lost as well as any medical conditions or allergies that the child may have. The best part? You can choose between single-use childrens wristbands and reusable kid’s wristbands depending on your requirements! Read More

The Importance of Kids Wristbands for Children on School Trips

Where there is fun and learning on school trips, there are also accompanying risks. Schools or other organisations that manage large groups of children are responsible for implementing safety practices to maximise safety and reduce risks. This starts with making sure that all children are easily identifiable and accounted for to make sure they can be quickly reunited with the group should they become separated. 

Ideal for nurseries, kindergartens, child carers and primary schools when looking after toddlers or older kids, our range of Children's wristbands are perfect for identifying kids at events, on holiday, on days out and on school trips. We offer a choice of single-use safety bracelets and reusable ID wristbands, all suitable for child sizes. 

Our reusable child identity bands all come with space for writing parent or carer’s contact details. You can also note a child's allergies or any medical conditions on our childrens wristbands.

See how to design wristbands with clear fonts, bright colours, and child-safe materials in our step-by-step guide.

 

What makes our Child Safety Wristbands effective?

Here’s what makes them great for children's safety:

Made from smooth, tear-resistant paper - children's wristbands should never distract from the learning experiences on days out. We only use comfortable materials to help children to stay engaged with activities. 


Available in a range of bright colours - Our brightly coloured child safety wristbands act as a visual aid when scanning for the children in your group. You can use the different colours of our kids wristbands to distinguish between groups of children, whether that’s through year groups, classes or pre-assigned groups!


Clearly outline medical needs - We also have children’s wristbands to identify medical statuses, such as our ‘I received first aid’ wristbands. The purpose of these kids’ wristbands is to alert both staff and parents/carers that a child may need further medical attention or support. In the same way, we have status wristbands such as ‘I bumped my head wristbands’ so that all staff can identify medical issues quickly. Lastly, we provide a range of medical condition alert wristbands so that all members of staff are aware of any outstanding medical conditions or allergies. 


Can be used in a number of places - Our paper-style child safety wristbands are ideal for use at festivals or concerts, camping trips, sporting events or beaches, and includes space for a parent or carerto include their contact details in the event that their child became lost.


Two styles to choose from  - We also provide two different styles of children’s wristbands designed to increase safety within schools. Our child’s ID wristband allows the sharing of important information regarding a child’s health or wellbeing, for example allergies or medical conditions such as diabetes, whereas our tyvek children’s wristbands are specifically designed for displaying important information such as contact details, or for notifying parents, carers, teachers and peers that a child has bumped their head while on a school trip or in the playground.

Can be used for security - Childrens ID Wristbands can be used to restrict access to certain areas or activities, ensuring that children are only participating in activities that are appropriate and safe for their age group.


Can be used to recognise achievements - At ID&C, we believe kids wristbands are a fun and interactive way of ensuring their safety. We’ve taken this interactive element to a whole new level with our reward wristbands! Safety and security are extremely important when it comes to children, but so is recognising and rewarding achievements in school which is why we also have children’s wristbands designed to encourage and empower students too!


Tamper-proof and durable - Our wristbands feature tamper-proof fabric locks that make it difficult for the wristbands to be removed or transferred. We want children to be able to enjoy and have fun on their trips without worrying about breaking their safety bands which is why we’ve put extra care into making our childrens wristbands durable.
