It’s never too early to educate children about healthy lifestyles, personal safety and the dangers they encounter from day to day. Whether it’s chemicals or electricity around the home, a stranger at the park, Facebook predators, bullies, or crossing a busy road there are many excellent on-line teaching aids to drive home the message of ‘Safety First’. Our collection of links and resources like ‘Spot the Hazard’ worksheets can provide valuable safety and health advice for children; we hope they will help both parents at home and teachers at school or in a pre-school nursery.

Teaching children of any age to ‘Just Say NO To Strangers’ gives the confidence and assertiveness they need if threatened or confronted by a stranger or even somebody that they know and trust. Our list of Stranger Danger Resources provide a useful library of informative websites that are able to offer valuable advice on personal safety, free printable leaflets, printables, etc. to parents, teachers and carers on the subject of self-help for kids and keeping children safe from harm.
With mental health in mind we began a set of Worry and Anxiety Help Sheets in May 2019. It’s a ‘work in progress’ but will continue to grow as time allows. It attempts to simplify this very important area of mental health in children and young teenagers and provide print-outs to support discussion and self-help.
Internet Safety Posters are a simple and effective way of reminding children about the importance of online safety and stranger danger on the web. Our unique set of free printable internet safety posters provide tips on how kids and teenagers can stay safe on social media, when chatting online, messaging or surfing.
