The minimum standard every parent and educator should have!

Body Safety Basics is a calm, practical, prevention-focused course for parents and educators who want to keep children safe - without fear, overwhelm, or feeling like you are saying the wrong thing.

This is not advanced training.

This is not worst-case storytelling.

This is not a one-off “big talk”.

This is the baseline knowledge, language, and structure every adult responsible for children should have in place.

Why this course exists

Most adults were never taught how to talk about body safety.

So they:

• Avoid the conversation
• Wait too long
• Worry about saying the wrong thing
• Or assume someone else will handle it

Children pay the price for that silence.

Body Safety Basics exists to change that.

It gives adults the tools they should have been given themselves - so children don’t have to navigate safety alone.

• A parent or carer of a child at any age or stage
• An educator, teacher, or professional working with children
• A grandparent, foster carer, coach, or trusted adult
• Someone who wants to do better - calmly, confidently, and ethically

If you are responsible for children, this course is for you.

This course is:

• Prevention-focused, not fear-based
• Age-appropriate, from babies to teens
• Framework-driven, not scripted or rigid
• Trauma-informed, without being heavy
• Practical, not theoretical

It doesn’t rely on shock or statistics.

It builds confidence, clarity, and connection.

What you’ll learn

Body Safety Basics is a six-part course that builds foundational safety skills step by step.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand what body safety really is (and what it isn’t)
• Start conversations without pressure or panic
• Teach children to recognise early warning signs
• Build safety networks so children know who to tell
• Teach consent, boundaries, and body autonomy
• Identify safe vs unsafe behaviour without labelling people
• Use body safety rules that protect without scaring
• Explain secrets vs surprises clearly and safely
• Recognise safe vs unsafe touch
• Respond calmly and effectively if a child discloses harm
• Keep body safety alive in everyday moments as children grow

These are life skills, not one-off lessons.

This is the bare minimum - and that matters

Body Safety Basics isn’t positioned as “extra”.

It is the starting line.

This is the level of understanding adults should already have - before we talk about advanced safeguarding, online safety, or crisis response.

If you work with children, this should be your baseline.

If you parent children, this should already be in place.

When adults complete Body Safety Basics, children gain:

• Language to express discomfort
• Confidence to say no
• Trust in their instincts
• Clear boundaries
• Safe adults who listen
• A pathway to speak up early

And if something ever does go wrong, children are far more likely to:

• Tell sooner
• Be believed
• Get help earlier
• Carry less shame

That is prevention in action.
