Within our program 'Growing up safely' we try to achieve a safe start for all children and adolescents. To achieve this, we try to meet the needs and risks for each specific age group. In order to reduce injury we focus on protection and/or strengthening of physical, social and mental skills and risk competences. We aim at the most relevant settings (at home, school, in traffic and when going out with friends) in our attempt to prevent serious injuries and improve quality of life. We want all children and adolescents to be safe at home, in school/child care/kindergarden and on the road.
