It is our responsibility as the adults in a child’s life to keep them safe, but it is also important that children understand that they have the right to feel safe. The Protective Behaviours Programme is a personal safety curriculum that is designed to empower children in their right to be safe and to practice the behaviours that will keep them safe from harm and abuse. By sharing protective behaviours with your child, you will be helping to develop lifelong skills of assertiveness, self- confidence, problem-solving, communication, resilience and help-seeking.
