Stay One Step Ahead: Reducing child accidents in the home

From 12 February 2026 13:00 until 12 February 2026 14:00
Categories: Events

Every year in England, around 370,000 children under five sustain an injury that requires hospital care*. Around 40,000 are admitted, and tragically, around 35 die. Most of these injuries happen at home, and most are preventable. Families living in disadvantaged areas are at greatest risk.

The Stay One Step Ahead (SOSA) programme, developed by the University of Nottingham in collaboration with Small Steps Big Changes and the Child Accident Prevention Trust, is an evidence-based, co-produced intervention that helps parents and carers make homes safer.

Register for our webinar to find out more about the programme, the evidence behind it and the support that is available to help you implement it. Attendees will also hear about a free implementation toolkit.

The webinar is aimed at commissioners and managers of child health and early years services, public health teams, child health and early years practitioners and third sector or other organisations with a role in child health, family support or home safety.
