Head Teachers Testimonials
St Marys Church Of England Primary School (Dalton In Furness)
The Kidsafe project was delivered to children in Years 1, 2 and 3 at this school through the Autumn term of 2003. The project also included two information meetings for parents and a series of parent group meetings, which ran alongside the work with children.
The feedback received in school from the parent meetings was entirely positive and those parents who attended the group meetings felt that they had gained much from exploring the issues around the topic of child abuse and child protection.
All teachers felt that the work was well prepared with good resources being used. All felt that the providers worked very hard at presenting the sessions. Good friendly relationships developed with the children.
Overall the programme was a positive experience for the school that has raised awareness of some of the issues surrounding this very difficult area.

Petteril Bank Primary School (Carlisle)
The response from the majority of the children to the sessions was favourable, they looked forward to seeing KS every week. The format of sitting the children in a circle to discuss the issues worked well, as our children are quite familiar with circle time.
I have been really impressed to hear the children discussing in their own conversations or in talks relating to particular behaviour about them having yukky feelings because somebody may have said something to upset them. I think the programme has really enabled our children to open up about how they feel in a non threatening way and in a simple language that they all understand and can relate to.
