The number of reported personal injury road accidents involving at least one child casualty (aged 0 to 15) for each of the last five years is:
Number 2002 30,430 2003 28,264 2004 27,253 2005 24,837 2006 22,676
In 2000, the Government set a PSA target to achieve a 50 per cent. reduction in the number of children aged 0 to 15 killed or seriously injured by 2010, compared with the average for 1994-98. 3,294 children were killed or seriously injured in Great Britain in 2006, which is 52 per cent. below the 1994-98 average of 6,860. In February 2007 we issued a new child road safety strategy, which sets out further measures to improve child road safety.
