Child Safety Week is the Child Accident Prevention Trust’s flagship community education campaign. It aims to raise awareness of the number of accidents that seriously injure or kill children every year and the steps we can take to help prevent them. Child Safety Week is for anyone working with families or children. So whether you work in a nursery, children’s centre, GP surgery, school, your own home, in the community, in road or fire safety or anywhere else working with children or families, you can get involved with Child Safety Week. The emphasis of the Week is on empowering families to take positive action rather than telling them what to do, or lecturing them about what they are doing wrong.

National Childhood Obesity Week
With an estimated three million overweight and obese children in the UK, childhood obesity is one of the most serious health epidemics facing our society today. To raise awareness about this epidemic, MEND and the National Obesity Forum have joined forces to launch National Childhood Obesity Week. Throughout National Childhood Obesity Week, MEND will launch its first-ever MEND Move It Week in a bid to encourage more children and their families to get active together. To celebrate MEND Move It Week, families across the UK will be ‘moving it’ at fun-filled physical activity events organised by MEND’s network of 350 healthy lifestyle programmes.
