Introduction

The 2018 WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety called for a ‘shift in the current child health agenda, which has largely neglected road safety’ (1). The call for this shift is not new, having been a central theme of the 2008 ‘World report on child injury prevention’ (2), but the burden of road trauma on the lives of children and their families continues to be huge. Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death to children and young people worldwide (3).
