The Deputy Director of Public Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) providing a summary of the current position in relation to unintentional injury in children and young people aged 0-17 which included unintentional (accidental) injury, self-harm and assault.

A question was asked about whether accident prevention work was being undertaken in Priority 2 areas and with Registered Social Landlords other than Stockport Homes. In response it was stated that the approach undertaken by Public Health was not exclusive to Priority 1 areas, and was a borough-wide approach. In relation to other partners, opportunities for greater engagement with stakeholders was always welcomed.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
