The Nursing Home Visiting Program will provide child safety seat distribution and education as part of a home visit. The program goals are to increase child safety seat use and decrease misuse in an effort to reduce child injuries and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle collisions. The program will also provide child passenger safety basic awareness training and technician certification for selected Public Health Division staff.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-658-2 will allow the County to provide child passenger safety information and education, through September 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Public Health Division will not be able to provide child passenger safety information in effort to reduce children killed or injured in traffic collisions.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in child safety seat usage and reduction in child deaths and injuries in traffic collisions.
