Strategies to help children protect themselves
What do we mean by 'safe'? What ius acceptable behaviour and what is not? Childcare settings - together with agencies such as the NSPCC, Childline and Kidscape - are very important in educating children about looking after themselves. The important thing for all children to remember is that they should never feel uncomfortable about someone they are with or something being done to them.
- Children and young people need support to be able to keep themselves safe. You can help by:
- teaching them effectively about the dangers posed by some adults and how to minimise them, including the dangers arising from some aspects of electronic media.
- teaching them effectively about the dangers involved with substance abuse
- providing them with effective sex and relationship education, including sexual health risks, and supplementing this with impartial and confidential advice and guidance.
Best wishes
