“…When considered together, these issues culminate in programmes that risk being inadequately targeted and are unable to justify their success in reducing injury. Consequently, they are not sustainable [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Interestingly, there was only one study in the review that included children aged 4–5 years of age. This is echoed by a narrative review of published research undertaken by Peck et al [ 14 ], who identified that the studies of childhood injury prevention programmes targeting pre-school children were of poor quality and lacked convincing evidence of effectiveness due to the methods of evaluation. In culmination, there was insufficient evidence of the effectiveness of childhood injury prevention programmes for children attending early learning programmes, requiring further high-quality studies to determine their overall effectiveness and longer-term sustainability.…”

Globally, injuries are the leading cause of death and represent the highest burden of ongoing disease amongst children 1–16 years of age. Increasingly, prevention programmes are recognising a growing need for intervention strategies that target children. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of the SeeMore Safety Programme, designed to teach children (4–6 years of age) how to make conscious decisions about their own capabilities related to safety and how to manage risk. This retrospective study examined de-identified pre- and post-programme data from a sample of 1027 4 to 6-year-old pre-school children over the four-year period who participated in the SeeMore Safety Programme. Results show a significant improvement in each of the post-test scores and when compared to the pre-test scores (p < 0.001). Children from rural areas, as well as those from areas of greater disadvantage, also showed significant improvement in their pre- and post-test scores (p < 0.001). Overall, the findings highlight that the SeeMore Safety Programme over the four-year period demonstrates an increase in the children’s capacity to recognise and identify danger and safety amongst all children, offering great promise for reducing the burden of injury on children, their families and society.
