The Child Accident Prevention Trust (UK).

The Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) is a voluntary organisation, a charity, established in 1981 by paediatricians to investigate the causes and prevention of accidents. The President of the CAPT is its founder, Dr Hugh Jackson, who remains active and in the vanguard of new ideas on prevention. Jane Asher, the Vice President, is not only a well known actress, but also a published expert on children's safety. CAPT's small core of staff is responsible to a board of 10 voluntary trustees. This board reflects a wide range of technical and medical skills, including a professor of child health, a director of a large national children's charity, a road safety expert, a consumer affairs media personality, a lawyer, and a financial management expert. The board and staff jointly determine the actions needed to meet objectives and find resources to carry out the work. The Patron is Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Wales. CAPT also has a Professional Committee and Advisory Council that provide advice on research protocols and priorities. The former consists of nine child safety experts representing many disciplines. The latter includes 60 representatives of national organisations and government departments involved in injury prevention.
