Protective Behaviours: Body Safety and Abuse Prevention with Kayelene Kerr

Protective Behaviours - Body Safety and Abuse Prevention 

Teaching children water safety, road safety and sun safety tends to come more naturally to many parents, carers and grandparents: however, personal safety and body safety can be more challenging. This workshop will support you to teach your child skills and strategies to respond to a range of unsafe situations.

You will leave this workshop with up-to-date information, conversation starters, practical strategies and resource recommendations.

The workshop content will include:

• Being safe and Feeling Safe
• Emotional Intelligence and Feelings
• Early Warning Signs
• Safety – Assessing Risk
• Problem Solving
• Safe and Unsafe Secrets
• Public and Private
• Pornography
• Body Safety Rules
• Consent
• Personal Space and Body Autonomy
• Help seeking - Networks
• Persistence
• Child friendly books and resources.

"Talking to children about body safety in age and developmentally appropriate ways doesn’t take away a child’s innocence, it helps to protect it.”
