<bold>Objectives: </bold>The aim of this paper is to present the Child Safety Reference Frameworks (CSRF), a policy advice tool that places evidence-based child safety interventions, applicable at the sub-national level, into a framework resembling the Haddon Matrix.<bold>Method: </bold>The CSRF is based on work done in previous EU funded projects, which we have adapted to the field of child safety. The CSRF were populated following a literature review.<bold>Results: </bold>Four CSRF were developed for four domains of child safety: road, water and home safety, and intentional injury prevention.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>The CSRF can be used as a reference, assessment and comparative tool by child safety practitioners and policy makers working at the sub-national level.
