Advocacy resource for West Midlands

CAPT and the Department for Health West Midlands have updated Advocating Child Safety - a networking resource to support the development of child injury prevention in the West Midlands.

Published originally in 2009, the resource is designed to support advocacy and action to prevent childhood injury in the West Midlands. It helps stakeholders find injury data, understand relevant child accident prevention policies, view potential partner organisations, and foster communities involved in child safety.

The West Midlands has one of the highest rates of unintentional childhood injuries in England. CAPT worked closely with them to develop a networking resource to support the development of child accident prevention partnerships in the region.

As well as the resource itself, we have produced a factfile which is a workbook, which can be adapted locally, to help practitioners plan and record their injury prevention work.
