Child Safety Action Plan for Europe
Child Safety Strategy for Scotland
In Scotland, a Child Safety Strategy has been produced in support of the Child Safety Action Plan for Europe. The Child Safety Strategy creates a framework for action with a list of recommendations aimed at developing a strategic approach to preventing unintentional injuries to children and young people in Scotland. Development of the plan was led by RoSPA Scotland and the Child Accident Prevention Trust in consultation with key agencies and departments of the Scottish Government, and also in consultation with children directly. Amongst the recommendations put forward are that a plan of action should be developed for Scotland, setting out the priority injury issues, suggesting injury prevention programmes, identifying clear lines of responsibility locally and nationally, recommending performance indicators and advising on research needs.
