Abstract:
Injury is the leading cause of death in children and adolescents
aged 0-19 years in France. In 2001, 2122 children and adolescents in
this age group died as a result of injury. If the rate of injury death in
France could be reduced to the level of the safest country in Europe,
Sweden, 1015 of these lives could have been saved.
The Child Safety Report Card was developed by the Child Safety
Action Plan Project, a European initiative led by the European Child
Safety Alliance of Eurosafe to provide a starting point for measuring
progress toward and setting targets for reducing injury-related death
and disability amongst French children and adolescents.
The Report Card summarises France’s performance with respect
to the level of safety provided to the youngest and most vulnerable
citizens of the country through national level policy. It is based on
an examination of evidenced good practice policies in France to
support child and adolescent safety to July 2006, including specific
unintentional injury areas (e.g. road, home and leisure environments),
leadership committed to take action and the amount of human and
financial capacity to address the injury issue.
