To evaluate the process of establishing a Safe Community project for children.
A descriptive study.
Penarth, a town (population 20,430) Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.
3943 children and their families in Penarth.
Whether the 12 criteria for a Safe Community project (World Health Organisation) were met. Implementation of the safety agenda set by the community.
Safe Child Penarth met 10 of the 12 criteria for the Safe Community network. All the items on the agenda were introduced in the initial two years of the project. There were difficulties, however, achieving sustained community ownership of the project.
The Safe Community concept stimulated work to improve child safety in Penarth. Community safety initiatives should involve all local agencies to identify the problems and work with the community to set and meet the safety agenda. Partnership with the local authority is valuable to improve the safety of the environment. The experience generated from Safe Child Penarth has been used to develop a county wide, all age community safety project.
评估为儿童建立安全社区项目的过程。
描述性研究。
南威尔士格拉摩根谷的佩纳斯镇(人口20430)。
佩纳斯镇的3943名儿童及其家庭。
是否符合安全社区项目的12项标准(世界卫生组织)。社区设定的安全议程的实施情况。
佩纳斯安全儿童项目符合安全社区网络12项标准中的10项。议程上的所有项目在项目的最初两年都已推出。然而,要实现社区对该项目的持续主导存在困难。
安全社区概念推动了佩纳斯改善儿童安全的工作。社区安全倡议应让所有当地机构参与,以识别问题,并与社区合作设定和实现安全议程。与地方当局的合作对于改善环境安全很有价值。佩纳斯安全儿童项目积累的经验已被用于开展一个全县范围的、涵盖所有年龄段的社区安全项目。
