Welcome To Your FREE Child Abuse Prevention Education Starter Kit
Did you know that one-third of children will suffer some form of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday?
Sadly, children with special needs are even more vulnerable and are seven times more likely to be abused than mainstream children.
It is down to us as adults, parents, educators and teachers to keep our children safe from sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse comes in a variety of forms and can include anything from an adult exposing themselves to a child, children intentionally or unintentionally seeing pornography – right through to deliberate and ill-intended acts of abuse.
Needless to say, in many cases, these experiences can impact a child for life and so if we can do anything to prevent these situations, we must.
Education is key.
We cannot control, the acts of others, but we can educate and empower our children with knowledge, skills and awareness that can help to keep them safe.
The younger we start, the safer they will be.
In this resources section, you will find FREE resources for teachers, parents, childcare educators and carers to help you keep our children safe.

Although this is EXCELLENT, only a very small proportion of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by a stranger.
Most violations are by someone known by the child.
