OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper is to present the Child Safety Reference Frameworks (CSRF), a policy advice tool that places evidence-based child safety interventions, applicable at the sub-national level, into a framework resembling the Haddon Matrix. METHOD The CSRF is based on work done in previous EU funded projects, which we have adapted to the field of child safety. The CSRF were populated following a literature review. RESULTS Four CSRF were developed for four domains of child safety: road, water and home safety, and intentional injury prevention. CONCLUSION The CSRF can be used as a reference, assessment and comparative tool by child safety practitioners and policy makers working at the sub-national level.
