The National SAFE KIDS Campaign would like to
recognize SAFE KIDS New London County for the
development of this presentation. We believe it
will be a useful template in the development of
technician trainings for other SAFE KIDS BUCKLE
UP Inspection Stations.

Child Safety Seat Inspection Station
3
Why are we calling it an inspection station and
not a fitting station?

New London County SAFE KIDS

• Received a grant through National SAFE KIDS,
  funded by General Motors and the United Auto
  Workers Union
• Grant has a value of up to 50,000
• The grant targets the historically at risk
  children of our communities (i.e. minorities,
  socio-economically disadvantaged families)

So what did Esther get us into?

3 New Components to Inspection Station

• Voucher Program
• Evaluation forms
• Expansion of inspection station

7
Voucher Program

• Car Seats are going to be available through local
  human service organizations who will be
  distributing the vouchers to their clients who
  they have identified as being in need of a free
  safety seat.

8
How does this effect me?
9
Vouchers

• People who are coming to inspection station with
  a voucher
• 1. Will already have their seat waiting for them
  (per Esther).
• -As the human service organization will
  have passed the information on to us.
• 2. Tech will need to ask for the actual voucher,
  and get the child a seat that is appropriate for
  them.

10
Vouchers cont.

  to Senior Checker or Esther

An important note

  these vouchers, we want them to refer friends
  and family to our program.

  others!

13
Confidentiality
14
Why is confidentiality important at the
inspection station?

• Persons right to privacy

15
When is it appropriate to break confidentiality?

  report to senior checker or Esther

Evaluation Forms

19
Why Evaluate?

• Create the best possible program
• Learn from mistakes
• Make modifications as needed
• Monitor progress towards goals
• Measure the program's ultimate outcome
• Demonstrate the programs worth to program
  partners, sponsors, and the community

20
How are the evaluations going to work?

• Inspection station will now begin taking
  appointments at 345 so that care givers can
  begin filling out paperwork prior to techs
  arriving
• Appointments times will also be adjusted to allow
  for the evaluation forms to be completed
• During duration of appointment care givers will
  fill out all forms

21

• How about an example?

22
An Example of a Typical Appointment Would be

• Esther/Senior checker will give care giver
• - customer survey
• - pre-questionnaire
• - check sheet
• These need to be filled out before tech starts
  the education/installation process
• Please keep all forms with care giver while they
  are at inspection station

23

• After the 3 forms are filled out tech will do the
  normal education and then help the parents with
  the installation of the seat
• PLEASE REMEMBER, we want parents to be able to
  install the seat themselves!!!!!!!!
• The last thing we want a parent to say is I am
  never going to take this seat out
• When senior checker, checks seat he/she will hand
  care giver a Post-Questionnaire to fill out

24

• Please hand all completed forms to Esther or
  senior checker, as we dont want the filing of
  all this additional paperwork to take time away
  from care givers
