CHILD PROTECTION CURRICULUM

We will be teaching the Child Protection Curriculum as part of the Health Curriculum. All Fisher classes will be engaging with the Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum (KS:CPC) 

There are 2 main themes:

  • We all have the right to be safe
  • We can help ourselves to be safe by talking to people we trust

The four main focus areas are: 

The right to be safe: Exploring the concept of safety, reviewing the concept of warning signs, unsafe situations and acceptable risk-taking

Relationships Understanding rights and responsibilities, trust and networks, developing personal identity, power in relationships

Recognising and reporting abuse: Privacy and names of parts of the body, recognising abuse, neglect and unsafe secrets, electronic media safety

Protective strategies: Problem-solving for keeping safe and review of networks
