BSCB Child Injury Prevention Strategy
Preventing Unintentional Injury to Children in the Bradford District 2011-2014

Many injuries are largely preventable. It is the duty and responsibility of everyone to promote the safety of children in the District. It is hoped that this strategy will be a useful tool to help deliver that as well as serving as a driver for change in the District, pulling together all those agencies currently working to prevent childhood injuries and supporting parents to strike the right balance between protecting their children whilst allowing them to have fun. It is anticipated that by working together we will create a safer District for our children.

Bradford Safeguarding Week - 29 October-2 November 2012

Bradford's Safeguarding Week has been organised between a range of partners, organisations and Council departments.  The overall object is to raise awareness on safeguarding children and people in the Bradford district.

Events are at various venues and are aimed at a range of people including practitioners and first line managers who work with adults, children and families.  Click here for the PDF with more information, contacts and booking details.


SmartRisk Heroes Report
The SmartRisk Heroes show is a high-impact sound and visual event in which a presenter who has survived an injury tells the story of what happened and how the injury has affected their lives.

The show aims to increase knowledge about avoiding stupid risks, to promote more positive attitudes towards risks and injury prevention, and to enable people to make smarter decisions about risk taking in future.

While the SmartRisk message is centered on helping people become more aware of risks in general, it has a particular focus on road safety with a clear relevance for helping young people stay safe on the roads as pedestrians, cyclists and passengers. It also has the potential to help them become safer drivers in the future.

Bradford Safeguarding Children Board commissioned SmartRisk Heroes to stage events in several schools in Bradford during March 2011 and this report provides an independent evaluation of the events.
