Resource and Tool Development

IWK Health, Child Safety Link– Children's Fall Prevention Toolkit (2024 – 2025)

We’re in the early stages of working with Child Safety Link to finalize a fall prevention toolkit aimed at reducing fall-related injuries among children, particularly in populations at higher risk. The project’s goal is to enhance education on children's fall prevention by creating a "safety-at-home" toolkit to support service providers in Nova Scotia. Our work will unfold in four phases: conducting a web-based pre-survey, in English and French, to assess current fall prevention initiatives, supporting the piloting of a draft version of the toolkit with service providers, conducting a post-survey to evaluate its impact, and lastly refining the final toolkit based on the data collected.
