In 2005, a total of 34 children were injured in this way, compared to 25 the previous year.
Child accident prevention co-ordinator Louise Hamilton said this was a matter of concern which needed to be addressed.
‘Everyone needs to be vigilant about this increase – drivers, parents and children themselves,’ she said.
With this in mind, the organisation Child Accident Prevention Jersey are holding their third annual child safety conference at St Paul’s Centre on Friday.
