As parents it’s so important we understand that not everyone is a safe person for our children. Teaching children about body safety and consent from an early age will help them to develop respectful relationships as they grow into adults, and be more considerate of others knowing that everyone has the right to feel safe.
Body safety and consent education aims to empower children with skills and knowledge that will reduce the likelihood of them becoming victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Topics will include:
- Child sexual abuse - it’s characteristics and statistics.
- What is grooming? Why is it so important we know about it?
- What is body safety and why teach it.
- Body safety skills, messages and resources.
- Practical ways you can keep the body safety and consent conversation going in your home and community to protect children.
