Staying Safe Survey 2009: Young people’s and parents’ attitudes around accidents, bullying and safety
Yesterday saw the publication of new research Staying Safe 2009, commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). The study examines parents’ and children’s awareness, attitudes and reported behaviour across the various safety issues covered within the Staying Safe Action Plan and the Byron Review, which will be delivered (or supported) by the DCSF. The report contains findings related to: bullying; children’s safety in the home; people’s general concerns and attitudes to children’s safety, their perceived wider responsibility for other children’s safety, and people’s general attitudes to children’s safety and their potential reactions to ‘unsafe’ situations. The findings related to use of the internet and internet safety are published in a separate DCSF research report – Staying Safe Survey 2009: Children and parents’ attitudes around internet safety
