CHILD SAFETY

PROTECTING OUR KIDS: TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT PERSONAL SAFETY

One of the most important things we can do as parents and caregivers is protect our children by educating them about personal safety. Teaching children simple strategies about keeping safe can help them build confidence, resilience and empower them to be safe in a variety of situations.It’s not difficult to educate children about personal safety. All it takes is the willingness to start, some help with content, and time.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL SAFETY

Research shows that teaching children about personal safety:

  • Reduces the likelihood of a child entering into an unsafe situation.
  • Clearly demonstrates how to respond to an unsafe situation.
  • Increases a child’s sense of confidence and in doing so increases their resiliency.
  • Increases a child’s knowledge of their personal rights i.e. “I have the right to feel safe with people”.
  • Increases the likelihood that the child will speak out if they feel unsafe and tell someone they trust.
  • Can interrupt or prevent grooming.

WELLBEING RESOURCES

We know that it can sometimes be hard to find the necessary resources in relation to mental health, bullying and family violence, especially when things are tough. For this reason, the School has a small webpage with links related to health and wellbeing resources. This can be found on the School's website under Other Resources or can be found here.

ISV: THE PARENTS WEBSITE

Belgrave Heights Christian School is part of the Independent Schools Victoria network of schools. Independent Schools Victoria offers an initiative called The Parents Website.  Here you will find a range of articles and newsletters.  To learn more, please click here.

CYBERSAFETY

Report image-based abuse

If someone shares or threatens to share an intimate image or video of you, eSafety can help remove the content or stop the threats. If you’re being blackmailed, don’t pay or give them more – stop all contact with the blackmailer.

Image-based abuse is not your fault and you’re not alone. You can get help by reporting image-based abuse, including ‘revenge porn’ and ‘sextortion’.
