The Citizen Safety Project (CSP) successfully trained Year 10 students to teach accident prevention to younger children. This peer-led program improved younger pupils' knowledge and boosted older students' confidence.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Promotion
  • Child Safety

Background:

  • Accidents are a significant public health issue, identified in the "Saving Lives: Our Healthier Nation" White Paper (1999).
  • School-based injury prevention programs are crucial for implementing health promotion strategies.
  • The Citizen Safety Project (CSP) is a peer-delivered program targeting accident prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of implementing the CSP in schools.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot peer-delivered injury prevention program.
  • To inform future research and modifications for larger-scale implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Year 10 students (14-15 years) delivered accident prevention themes to Year 2 pupils (6-7 years).

  • Formative evaluation included teacher interviews and student diaries.
  • Knowledge and risk awareness in Year 2 pupils were assessed using the Draw and Write technique.
  • Self-esteem and locus of control were measured in Year 10 students.

    • Main Results:

    • The CSP was well-accepted by participants.
    • Year 2 pupils demonstrated improved knowledge of accident prevention and risk awareness.
    • Year 10 students showed increased confidence and self-esteem.
    • The program concurrently met key stage attainment targets.

    Conclusions:

    • The Citizen Safety Project is a feasible and effective peer-led injury prevention program.
    • The program positively impacts both younger pupils' knowledge and older students' personal development.
    • The findings support the adaptation and expansion of the CSP for broader implementation.
