Child Safety Link

Child Safety Link (CSL) is an injury prevention program at the IWK Health Centre dedicated to reducing the incidence and severity of unintentional injury to children and youth in the Maritimes (and Atlantic Canada when appropriate). We are committed to working with community organizations, governments and other partners to ensure children are as safe as necessary at home, on the road and at play. The team does this through capacity building & partnerships; communication and public relations; advocacy and healthy public policy; and research and evaluation. With so much information available on the Internet, it can be hard for parents and caregivers to identify the best source for the latest information on how to keep their children safe from injury. CSL is a reliable, recognized Canadian source for a wide variety of children’s injury prevention issues. The information we offer is evidence-based, and is specific to statistics, laws and regulations in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland/Labrador. If we do not have the answer, we can usually point you to the expert who does. To stay connected with CSL’s daily injury prevention tips and trends, you can follow us on social media by joining our growing online community on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.
