Forthcoming Event

CSEF: The Children's Safety Education Foundation has highlighted that accidents remain one of the biggest single causes of death in the UK for children, second only to cancer.  On top of this, around 2m children & young people visit accident and emergency departments with an unintentional injury, costing the NHS an estimated £146m.
 
Child Safety Week (Monday 20 June to Sunday 26 June 2011) is a community education campaign that aims to raise awareness of the number of accidents that seriously injure, disable or kill children and the steps we can take to prevent them.  The theme for 2011 is 'Take a second look at safety'.
