KidSafe UK
KidSafe is a multi-level program which specialises in child protection/safeguarding at an age appropriate level (see below).The philosophy at Kidsafe is to make children more aware of the dangers they face without destroying their sense of adventure. The best approach is to make learning about safety fun and this is done at an age appropriate level with the use of KS the puppet.
To keep parents/carers fully informed, prior to delivering the sessions, a letter is sent out to all parents/carers inviting them into school to speak to one of our trained members of staff regarding the content and delivery of the session and to view resources. In addition, weekly letters will be sent home to encourage communication between children and parents/carers.
Below are the list of programmes and their content overview. If you wish to see each session in more depth, contact the school and we will show you a hardcopy of each lesson/session.
