Schools

The school service area includes all injury prevention activities and resources that support students, educators and administrators within a school setting. Schools are an ideal location to promote the awareness of child injury prevention methods to ensure West Australian children become healthy adults. Schools are also the second most frequent location for childhood injuries to occur after the home and almost half of all injury presentations are by primary school aged children.
