The Child Safety Learning Collaborative (CSLC), an initiative of the Children’s Safety Network (CSN) at Education Development Center (EDC), aims to reduce injury and violence among infants, children and youth. Now in its third cohort, the CSLC builds Title V capacity through technical assistance to cross-state, child safety topic teams by using data to inform decision making and applying quality improvement and innovation methods to sustainably implement and spread evidence-based strategies state-wide. Currently 18 state strategy teams are actively working on infant safe sleep, bullying prevention, suicide and self-harm prevention, and motor vehicle traffic safety.  

In this webinar, CSLC participating states will share how they have used quality improvement and innovation tools to work toward their goals. The webinar will highlight stories, lessons, tools, and resources used by the CSLC that can be used and adapted by any injury prevention program.
