The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has reported that, in 2000,491 children under the age of 15 died in accidents or as a result of violence in the United Kingdom, and that, in 1999, there were 2,281,963 injuries requiring hospital treatment sustained by children in the same age range whilst at home or engaging in leisure activities.1 Of the latter, 393,778 injuries were suffered at places of education (some 150,334 in school playgrounds and 114,064 in school/college sports areas).2 Road casualty figures for 2001 record the deaths of 219 children under the age of 16, plus 4,769 serious injuries and 33,362 slight injuries. 107 of the deaths were of child pedestrians.3 The Society has also reported that accidents are the commonest cause of death in children over one year of age, and that the cost to the National Health Service of treating children involved in accidents as outpatients and inpatients is over £ 200 million a year.4 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
