Researchers from the University of Nottingham want to speak to parents whose children have been taken to casualty to help develop guidance to prevent childhood injuries.
Families whose children have been brought to an emergency hospital department and given treatment for falls, scalds and poisoning, will be asked to complete a questionnaire on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the safety practices they regularly use in their home.
Information from the questionnaires will contribute to the Keeping Children Safe project, a joint five-year study with the Child Accident Prevention Trust to develop a set of recommendations and guidelines to reduce the number of young children requiring hospital treatment.
