Safe Community
According to World Health Organization Safety Program (Stockholm May 2002), a Safe Community should possess the following:
- An infrastructure based on partnership and collaborations, governed by a cross-sectional group that is responsible for safety promotion in the community.
- Long-term, sustainable programs covering both genders and all ages, environments and situations.
- Programs that target high-risk groups and environments, and programs that promote safety for vulnerable groups.
- Programs that document the frequency and causes of injuries.
- Evaluation measures to assess their programs, processes and the effects of change.
- Ongoing participation in national and international Safe Community networks.
