ACC ThinkSafe and Schools: Injury prevention resource 2003

ACC provide this resource to schools and centres in recognition of the important role teachers play in the area of injury prevention education. Teachers already assist in shaping and changing community attitudes and behaviours around child safety and ACC would like to continue to support them in this. They recognise that teachers, as trained professionals, are the best-placed people to deliver these critical life-long messages. The Curriculum Resource is delivered in three separate learning areas: -Early Childhood; -Primary Years 1 – 8; -and High Schools (Years 9 – 13) with four overarching themes: 1) Exploring life’s activities 2) Understanding injury prevention 3) Analysing and managing risk 4) Building safe physical and emotional environments. This resource is distributed free to all schools through Educating New Zealand.
