For any concerned parent or classroom teacher, there is a wealth of safety education information available for children and youth. The organizations producing this information are both national and provincial groups who have a broad interest in injury prevention. Bicycling, pedestrian, and skateboarding/ scootering/ rollerblading safety tips are often included under headings such as "motor vehicle" or "traffic" safety. In most cases, the information is available online or in hard copy form.
