When the girls were tiddlers ( oh, so long ago) I got hold of some little bits of plastic which fitted over the switch on electrical sockets to prevent them from being switched off / on by little fingers.

I have looked high and low but they don't seem to be being sold anymore -- anybody seen anything like this around ?  Little HC has discovered the mains switch on the TV plug !!!!!!

Try Mothercare for one. Betaware, etc may still do these as well.
 They certainly are still available.

I know there plastic 3 pin prong/plates the can be put in sockets to stop children poking stuff in.

But not sure on switch covers

Thanks Lizzie & Skruntie ----- none of those are what I am looking for  

It's basically a self adhesive clip that fits directly over the switch itself and has to be unclipped to get at the switch

Right!  Sorry Holy Count but I have never seen or used those!

With the power sockets we made  sure they were switchless when our kids were young so never needed that type of device.
