Funded Activity Summary

Learning to be safe: Developing children's perceptions of safety and risk. Injury is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Australia in the 0 to 29 age group. Child-centred safety education programs have the potential to establish lifelong changes in behaviour and attitudes towards safety and risk management. The study will develop a model for best practice for school safety education programs that can be transferred and adopted nationally and internationally, with the anticipated long-term outcome of a decrease in injury rates in young people. Child-centred safety education programs will have benefits for individuals not only during childhood but also throughout their working lives and across their life span.
