    Has anyone modified their IPs based on recommendations from Childsafe?

    Had an audit come through from a PM but apart from some common sense recommendations (kids shouldn't lean over windows), I haven't given it much thought.

    Just wondering if anyone else here has done work with this group?

    Blind cords and balconies are obvious issues but flyscreens aren't safety barriers. Chairs, lounges, cots, beds etc shouldn't be located near windows/railings but as a landlord you can't control where an occupant places their furniture.

    Blind cords was the big one at my place - had to get the proper fixtures put in, so the cord could be held at a height at least 1.2m above ground level. Haven't been told to fix anything else.
