This paper describes the Walk with Your Kids: Early Child Pedestrian Injury Prevention Project (ECPIPP). It outlines the Project aims, methodology, evaluation instruments and the parents/carers and school intervention development and theoretical foundation. The ECPIPP is a three-year randomised group intervention trial that aims to build the capacity of a cohort of parents/carers and teachers of 4-year-old children to support and protect these children as pedestrians in the road environment. This rigorous intervention research trial has the potential to improve the understanding of the relative contribution of parent/school-based interventions in improving road safety for young children and to describe the most effective intervention strategies to support parents to develop their own children’s pedestrian safety.
