This book is for parents, carers, teachers, foster carers, social workers, counsellors, indeed any practitioner working with children. It is to be completed together with the child. I fully reccoment this workbook to anyone wanting to work with a child to protect them against abuse.
It Contains 22 Fun activities that teach children how to keep themselves safe from abuse. One of our primary responsibilities as parents and carers is to keep our children safe from sexual abuse. One way of protecting them is to give them knowledge and tools that they can use to help keep themselves safe. The workbook also comes with a guidance booklet that will explain how to use the workbook and work with a child together to complete the activities. It will also give you useful hints and tips.
