“…Considering that safety regulations differ between and within countries (GOLDLUST, 2009), the elaboration of universal safety guidelines is paramount, as future studies must to consider this. Moreover, some safety programmes have been successfully applied (CHAVEZ et al, 2014) decreasing the accidents occurrence and improving safety knowledge among participants. The reduction of staff/participants ratio is also important to reduce the likelihood of illness and injury (HANDLER et al, 2018), but more research is needed to understand if camp managers consider this.…”

O estudo dos campos de férias para crianças aumentou nos últimos anos. Todavia, a utilização de diferentes termos e a dispersão da informação na literatura acerca da gestão destes eventos dificulta o esclarecimento das diretrizes de pesquisa, por um lado, e dificulta a melhoria das práticas de gestão, por outro. Este estudo visa sintetizar o conhecimento existente na gestão destes eventos, identificar inconsistências e lacunas na literatura, e definir direções para futuras pesquisas e práticas. Foi realizada uma revisão estruturada de estudos publicados entre 1950-2021. Metade dos estudos utilizou o termo “campos de verão”; mas também foram utilizados outros dez termos diferentes. Foram identificadas cinco áreas de gestão: segurança, comportamento do consumidor, recursos humanos, organização de eventos e pesquisa em campos de férias. Foram ainda identificadas lacunas na literatura. Estes resultados são importantes para definir novos caminhos de pesquisa e melhorar a gestão destes eventos.

“…Where generic fire safety education is more effective for primary school-aged children than preschool or kindergartenaged children (Chavez et al 2014), it is necessary to ensure that programs are implemented in age-appropriate increments (Jankowski 2015;Satyen, Barnett & Sosa 2004). This can be achieved by tailoring fire safety education to the developmental stages of children Lidstone 2006).…”

“…To capitalise on the capacity of caregivers, children could use resources that help them transfer fire safety knowledge from school into the home (Kourofsky & Cole 2010, Rimmer et al 2010, Towers et al 2014. Take-home resources such as checklists, factsheets or homework exercises, help knowledge retention and the transfer of knowledge from children to caregivers extends learning beyond classroom instruction (Chavez et al 2014, Johnson et al 2014, Lehna et al 2013, Ogier 2008, Rimmer et al 2010, Tatebe & Mutch 2015, UK Office of the Deputy Prime Minister 2003). While this would be ideal, the provision of take-home resources may rely on the available resources of fire service organisations and budgetary allocations.…”

The journal focuses on both the academic and practitioner reader. Its aim is to strengthen capabilities in the sector by documenting, growing and disseminating an emergency management body of knowledge. The journal strongly supports the role of the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience as a national centre of excellence for knowledge and skills development in the emergency management sector. Papers are published in all areas of emergency management. The journal encourages empirical reports but may include specialised theoretical, methodological, case study and review papers and opinion pieces.

School-based fire safety education programs are implemented by fire services organisations around the world to improve children’s fire safety knowledge and skills. Such education is considered the single most modifiable strategy that fire services organisations can implement to reduce the risk that children will misuse fire or be harmed by fire. Despite this, there are no overarching and evidence-based guidelines for the development of new programs or the evaluation and modification of existing ones. To fill this void, a rapid evidence assessment of existing literature was conducted. Results revealed 25 evidence-based practices that held true in a variety of contexts and methodologically diverse studies. These practices inform an empirical framework that can be used to guide fire safety education programs for children.
