This Hot Topic explores its purpose and collects some sites relevant to the safety of children both at school and outside class. Safekids, an organisation founded by Starship Children's Hospital in Auckland, founded Kidsafe Week in New Zealand in 1996. The week is designed to focus on raising awareness and promoting injury prevention at community and national levels. Making sure kids are safe includes educating children and caregivers about injury prevention and child safety, educating communities, advocating for safety conscious legislation and policies, strengthening the skills of those working in injury prevention, and helping organisations improve their safety practice.

Along with the fall comes the beginning of preschool and all of it's excitement. This letter will provide you with information about this year's Preschool program and what we need from you in the next few weeks. First of all some background information about myself. I will be teaching the preschool classes this year. This will be my 4th year of teaching Preschool for the Owl's Nest and assisting Rose Alaniz our Director. My degree is in Early Childhood Special Education from The University of Iowa . I will again be assisted by Diane Sammons and Barb Jellison. Our goal is to be consistent in our routine as well as with the teachers in each class. Seeing familiar faces in Preschool helps to set the preschoolers more at ease and they know better what to expect. It is also beneficial because for some of them, this will be their first experience in this type of environment.
HSRC - Seat Belts On School Buses safety information child passenger safety information school buses work withtransportation of preschool children, the Automotive safety for Children http://www.hsrc.unc.edu/pubinfo/child_busses.htm
Extractions: Parents and others concerned with the lack of seat belts on school buses must remember that these vehicles are covered by standards separate, and much different, from those covering passenger cars. After a series of crash tests with different seating configurations and much study and debate, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a set of Federal standards targeting the safety of school buses that went into effect April 1, 1977. Among the three major federal standards that went into effect in 1977 was FMVSS 222, School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection. Whereas passenger cars, light trucks and vans are required to have seat belts at all designated seating positions, FMVSS 222 does not require the installation of seat belts (other than for the driver) on new school buses with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs) of greater than 10,000 pounds, the standard large school bus. Buses with GVWRs of 10,000 pounds or less are required to have seat belts for all passenger positions, but the larger buses rely on strong, well-padded, energy absorbing seats and higher seat backs to "compartmentalize" and protect passengers during a crash.

Extractions: Children and Adolescents Each year, more than 775,000 children under age 15 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports injuries. In fact, sports injuries are the number one reason for emergency department visits among children. Many of these injuries can be prevented if parents get involved and make sure their children wear protective gear, follow the rules of play, and are physically and emotionally prepared to play the sport. Safety Tips Tips for Preventing Sports Injuries To help your child avoid sports injuries, follow these safety tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, and other sports and health organizations. Before your child starts a training program or enters a competition, take him or her to the doctor for a physical exam. The doctor can help assess any special injury risks your child may have. Make sure your child wears all the required safety gear every time he or she plays and practices.
