Advocacy for child safety [information sheet].

This is an information sheet compiled by Safekids NZ for use in our Information Packs. It is made up of three sides: (1) a page of general information about advocacy to prevent unintentional child injury, (2) a flow chart which describes the steps to be taken to advocate and (3) a practical pedestrian safety-related example. The general information section includes some statistics and argues against sensible injury prevention work being seen as 'cotton-wooling' kids: "Preventing unintentional injury is not about stopping children from having fun, or wrapping them up in cotton wool. It is about minimizing preventable harm, enabling children to grow up healthy and active."
