1 Child Drowning in Australia Meeting the Drowning Challenge? Dr Richard Franklin National Manager for Research and Health Promotion Royal Life Saving Society Australia Drowning and near-drowning accidents involving children have become an unfortunate part of modern day living...

5 Restricting Access 2 Styles Barrier around the water (e.g. Pool fencing) Barrier around the child Most pools have barriers weakest point the gate Supervision What is Supervision? Until recently there were a range of interpretations of what was supervision Recently work from the US has provided us with a better understanding of the elements that make up supervision Saluja, G., Brenner, R., Morrongiello, B. A., Haynie, D., Rivera, M., & Cheng, T. L. (2004). The role of supervision in child injury risk: definition, conceptual and measurement issues. Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 11(1), Morrongiello, B. A., Klemencic, N., & Corbett, M. (2008). Interactions Between Child Behaviour Patterns and Parent Supervision: Implications for Children's Risk of Unintentional Injury. Child Development, 79(3),
6 Key elements of supervision Proximity Always be within arms reach of your child Attention Always keep your attention on your child, this is not an occasional glance while reading a magazine Continuity Check children on a regular basis Never leave their presence if they are under 5 Prepare Ensure you are ready to supervise CPR Message is clear and simple Have a go Blow and push Constant reminder Last resort Trainee Paramedics Marchant, J., Cheng, N. G., Lam, L. T., Fahy, F. S., Sounndapound, S. V., Cass, D. T., et al. (2008). Bystander basic life support: an important link in the chain of survival for children suffering a drowning or near-drowning episode. Medical Journal of Australia(188),
7 Potential Impact Very Good Could exceed 50% by 2020 if: Increase in supervision Improvement in home pool fencing Increase in safe play areas Improvement in CPR skills Best Case approximately 75% Worst case due to increase in age of pool fencing, poor supervision, current number of safe play areas and decrease in CPR there could be an increase 7
8 What can we conclude? It may be possible to reduce by 50% up to 75%, however: current activities need to be maintained Some new programs are required Monitoring and Evaluation of existing programs More information required The Challenges of preventing child drowning deaths Dr Richard Franklin National Manager for Research and Health Promotion Royal Life Saving Society Australia 8
