Injury is the major cause of death in childhood in the UK and other industrialised nations.1 Moreover injury makes a considerable contribution to short and long term morbidity in children, and fear of injury to their children is one of many contributors to anxiety in parents. Injury is costly both to the NHS, and to the children and families concerned, and while there have been considerable advances in secondary and tertiary care in this area, injury prevention in childhood remains largely unevaluated in terms of its effectiveness.2 In other words, we know very little about what works in reducing child accidents. The majority of meaningful data we have on injuries in children are based on the sequelae of accidents. What was the injury? What were the consequences? What was the treatment? Data like these, while important, are unlikely to generate the kinds of information we need to prevent accidents.
