Children in Wales has published for consultation a plan on reducing unintentional injury to children. The plan, drawn up with partners, aims to help prevent avoidable injuries and create opportunities for children to play safely and actively. Some of the areas highlighted for action so far include ensuring every child in Wales receives the same type of road-safety education by the time they are 10 and ensuring there is a 20mph speed-limit zone around every school, nursery and play area, as is the case in Scotland.
- The plan, Towards a Child Safety Action Plan for Wales, can be downloaded from www.childreninwales.org.uk/publications or, for more information, contact: eleri.griffiths@childreninwales.org.uk.
