B3302 - Road traffic injuries and risk behaviours in children and young people with special educational needs - 29/04/2019
Road traffic injuries are known to affect the vulnerable in our society. Children travelling to and from school, and young people especially young road drivers, are known to be at risk of being involved in a road traffic crash. We wish to explore whether children and young people with special educational needs (including physical or behavioural disabilities or learning difficulties) are at an increased risk of being injured in a road traffic crash. By better understanding how children with special educational needs are involved in road traffic crash events we can develop and test targeted interventions to prevent these injuries and deaths, and support the parents and carers of children and young people with special educational needs.
