SUMMARY:Creating Safer Communities: A Healthy Streets Approach to Preventing Injury
DESCRIPTION:Healthy Streets is an evidence-based approach to designing and managing streets that support health\, sustainability\, fairness and community well-being. This approach focuses on the continuous improvement of existing conditions to enhance everyday life for all community members. \nIn Western Australia\, local governments are required to develop Public Health Plans. These plans should consider how the built environment and local infrastructure influence community health outcomes\, including the prevention of injuries\, chronic disease and environmental health risks. Built environment and transport are two priority areas that local governments should consider when creating their public health plan to prevent injury. \nJoin Injury Matters\, with guest presenter Lucy Saunders from Healthy Streets\, for the “Creating Safer Communities: A Healthy Streets Approach to Preventing Injury” interactive workshop on Thursday\, 28 August 9:00 am – 12:00 pm\, where we will: \n\nGo through an introduction to the Healthy Streets Approach\nAssess the safety of nearby streets (subjectively and objectively)\nExplore Healthy Streets assessments and tools\nDiscuss how different groups are impacted by street features\nIdentify actions and next steps to make your street safer\n\nThere will also be the opportunity for Lucy to answer questions about Healthy Streets and how you can implement this Approach. \nOptional \nYou can send through photos and a case study of a street in your community\, and Lucy may provide feedback and advice. \nPlease include: \n\nStreet name\nPhoto of the street\nWhy you have chosen that street to be reviewed?\n\nPlease send your case study to: info@knowinjury.org.au \nWho should attend? \nLocal Government officers\, Community Safety officers\, Health Promotion officers\, Community Development officers\, Engineers\, Environmental Planners\, State Government stakeholders and Urban Planners. \nCost: $25 (including GST) \nRegister here:
