Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT)

The Child Accident Prevention Trust is the only UK charity to focus on preventing death and serious injury to children from avoidable accidents. Our vision is a safer world for all our children.

We were set up 40 years ago by two consultant paediatricians who could not bear to keep treating the same injuries day after day; and who sometimes, despite their best efforts, had to give the news that no parent ever wants to hear.

They knew that many of the deaths and life-changing injuries they were treating were needless and they became determined to prevent them.
