MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Welcome to delegates of the 2012 World Safety Conference! The 11th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion (Safety 2012) is finally here. On behalf of the Safekids New Zealand team, I would like welcome all delegates from across New Zealand and around the world, and in particular to our colleagues from the Safe Kids Worldwide member countries. Working in child injury prevention, while very rewarding, can also be a challenge. This is especially true for those of us who work with at-risk communities or with vulnerable families and children. Working in collaboration with the right partners is essential. This is why Safety 2012’s theme Connecting pathways for a vibrant and safer future will be of help to child injury prevention workers. Aside from learning new skills from some of the world’s best injury prevention and safety researchers, Safety 2012 is also a venue to make mutually beneficial connections with others who share the same goals. We hope that after attending Safety 2012, you return inspired, reenergised and with new networks, ready to take on the challenge of keeping your countries and communities safe, particularly for children. We look forward to meeting you at Safety 2012, and seeing you at the Safekids NZ and Safe Kids WW stands (#10 and 14). Sincerely, Ann Weaver Director, Safekids New Zealand Keeping Auckland District Health Board kids safe.
