Through the funding of Public Health Wales Small Awards Scheme and in partnership with the Welsh Assembly Government, Children in Wales has developed and will be delivering free training to 100 health visitors across Wales.

The majority of these accidents happen within the home, with those at greatest risk being under the age of five years.
