OUR ADVOCACY WORK

Turning knowledge into action.

Bumps and bruises are a part of life. IPC focusses on the prevention of severe, life-changing injuries as an important component of life-long health and wellness. Our research helps us understand who is being seriously injured, how, and why. With this understanding, we support communities and decision-makers to take action.

"Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.”

Horace Mann
