Child Safety Week is an annual community education campaign which runs every year. It is led by the Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) and aims to generate thousands of safety conversations around the UK as well as engage people in safety related activities. The trust supports families in building confidence and developing the skills needed to manage the real risks to children's safety. Their aim is for all children to have the freedom to grow and learn, safe from serious harm.
