KIDS is an acronym for Kids In Dangerous Situations and they exist to try to redress the startling childhood injury statistics in Australia. Every day, more than 5,000 children are injured unintentionally and of those, more than 100 require hospital attention. More children die from injury than from disease.
The KIDS Foundation is a not-for-profit, health promotion charity. They are dedicated to reducing the incidence of childhood injury and death by promoting injury prevention education. Active nationally through pre-schools, primary and secondary schools, they deliver highly commended, interactive education programs and provide resources to 7,500 schools.
