What is a Safe Community?
  • A Safe Community can be a Municipality, a
    County, or a City working with safety promotion,
    injury-, violence-, suicide and natural disaster
    prevention, covering all age groups, gender and
    areas and is a part of an international network
    of accredited programs.
  • The community makes application to a Certifying
    Centre and if accepted, an agreement is signed
    between the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community
    Safety Promotion and the community.
