The Keeping Children Safe at Home research study

What did we find out?

HELLO! Thank you for visiting our web site.

Also a BIG THANK YOU to all families who took part in the Keeping Children Safe at Home research study.
This is what happened during the study:

• Families from in and around Newcastle, Nottingham, Bristol and Norwich took part in this study
• Over 13000 families shared with us the things they do to keep their children safe
• Some families had children who had an accident at home during the study period
• Our researchers learned many things from the study to help keep children safe at home in the future
• Our researchers have also been looking at all the other research about home safety to find out what other studies have discovered
• We have found that even SMALL CHANGES CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Many accidents CAN BE PREVENTED

Keeping children safe at home

Why are childhood injuries important?	What do parents think?	What we found out
See the statistics to remind ourselves why we did this research study.	64 of the parents who filled in questionnaires were also interviewed about what helps, and what makes it harder to try and stop accidents at home. Find out parents' views.	In the Keeping Children Safe at Home Study, we looked at some of the things parents did in the course of a day, and have identified which of these make a difference in preventing accidents at home
