Katrina Phillips, Services to Child Safety

Lodged by Clare Adamson (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 20 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Katrina Phillips, chief executive of the Child Accident Prevention Trust, on receiving an OBE for services to child safety in the New Year Honours List 2023; notes that the Child Accident Prevention Trust, which was established by two paediatricians, is the only UK charity to focus on preventing death and serious injury to children from avoidable accidents; commends what it sees as Katrina’s unwavering commitment to the safety of children; recognises that, since her appointment as chief executive in September 2001, Katrina has dedicated herself to ensuring that no child loses their life or endures the suffering of a preventable serious accident; acknowledges Katrina’s work to frame safety as a social justice issue, given that accidents disproportionately impact children in more deprived areas, and commends what it sees as Katrina’s passion and tireless advocacy for child safety throughout her career and through her continued support as a valued member of the Cross-Party Group on Accident Prevention and Safety Awareness.
