This week is Child Safety Week and in association with the Child Accident Prevention Trust, we’ll be backing the campaign by delivering youth education across Scotland, and publishing a series of safety tips for parents and carers.Accidents are a leading cause of death, serious injury and acquired disability for children and young people in the UK. They account for three deaths every week and over 2,000 hospital admissions.

Child Safety Week aims to help families understand the risks, as well as the consequences – but most importantly, the simple ways that accidents can be prevented.
