Morag MacKay

Morag joined Safe Kids Worldwide in 2016, but has been working in child injury prevention for over 25 years in both Canada and Europe. Her professional experience has largely focused on conducting and translating research to help move policy and programs towards evidence-based practices, finding ways to motivate those changes and developing tools to support them.

As Director of Research at Safe Kids, Morag is responsible for ensuring data and research are integrated into all aspects of SKW work around the world, including programs, advocacy, development and communications. She is also working to build SKW capacity for program planning, evaluation and research and enhance strategic partnerships between Safe Kids Worldwide and external organizations and researchers to enhance SKW programs and initiatives. She is currently leading efforts to address high risk and underserved populations and reduce existing inequities.

Since May 2021 Morag has also taken on leadership of the Network Department, providing oversight for both our US Network and the Safe Kids Worldwide Alliance.
