KIDS WORLDWIDE SUMMER SAFETY RANKING REPORT
Safe
Kids Worldwide (previously known as the National Safe Kids
Campaign) has released a new report ranking child safety
and injury prevention by state.
Safe
Kids Worldwide (previously known as the National Safe Kids Campaign)
has released a new report ranking child safety and injury prevention
by state. Timed
for a summer release, the report ranks state efforts to prevent
unintentional injuries on a number of issues that disproportionately
impact child safety during the summer months, such as drowning,
bicycle injuries, and motor vehicle crashes.
This
comparative look at injury prevalence may be especially helpful
to AAP chapters advocating for stronger injury prevention
laws. The report is located at the link below:

In
addition to the report from Safe Kids, be sure to see the
Academy's new Summer Safety Tip Sheets. The tip sheets
provide guidance to parents and caretakers on child safety
and how to mitigate hazards posed to children during the
summer season. These summer safety tips are available from
the Academy's Web site at: http://www.aap.org/advocacy/releases/summertips.htm |
