"We urge the UK government to adopt a National Accident Prevention Strategy (NAPS) to reduce the rising number of accidental deaths. Accidents claim over 20,000 lives annually, making them the leading cause of preventable deaths in young adults. This crisis costs billions in lost output and strains the NHS. For years, successive governments have overlooked this problem, meaning it is getting worse. Now, we urgently need the government to recognise the issue and adopt a strategy to deal with it.
We will not stop until this happens.”

In partnership with:  

We have launched a new report Safer Lives, Stronger Nation: Our Call for a National Accident Prevention Strategy that draws on research conducted over the last six months by Dr James Broun, Research Manager at RoSPA, for which he built up a unique dataset, bringing together 20 years of accident data from all four nations for the first time.

The report outlines the scale of the problem and the solutions we need to reverse rising accident figures.  We want accidents to be treated as a national crisis and we urgently need the government to understand the issue and adopt a strategy to deal with it.
