Helping children and young people feel more confident about the move to Secondary School
The Kidsafe team have begun working with older children, aged 10 and 11, helping to prepare them for some of the challenges of the transition to secondary school. Whilst the basic approach of the course is the same, there is more overt emphasis on the ‘’teenage” issues of drugs, alcohol, truancy and bullying that they may have to deal with at secondary school. The valuation to date shows the following impact:
92% felt that they would need to say no to drugs at secondary school
80% felt they would need to say no to smoking
96% felt they would need to say no to truancy
80% felt they would need to say no to bullying
92% felt they would need to say no to alcohol
96% felt that they would be more confident about saying no to these things as a result of the Kidsafe course
