Child Safety Link is proud to provide evidence-based advice and information to Maritime parents and caregivers. The fact that our advice is evidence-based means that we rely on recent research to inform our thinking. On this page you’ll find some of the documents that are the foundation of our advice, and some reports based on the latest science.
Advocacy
CSL recently created a framework to define advocacy in relation to child and youth injury prevention and to provide guidance to its application within our mandate and work plan.
