Let's Learn to Keep Safe with Milly and Miles

This exciting new resource pack is to be launched in 2011! Uniquely designed, the pack covers the most important message we can teach our children - how to keep safe! Knowing that the vast majority of children who are abused are harmed by someone they know it is vital that all children be taught how to protect themselves from being harmed by anyone, not just strangers. Teaching children how to deal with getting lost, being asked for hugs and kisses by strangers or even by people they know – is difficult.  Difficult because we want to protect children without damaging their natural openess and curiosity about the world. Adults are sometimes concerned that teaching children strategies for keeping safe will make children fearful but children learn about the dangers of traffic and how to cross roads safely; they learn about the dangers of water and how to swim. We do not find that that most children are frightened of cars or swimming and splashing in water! In the same low key way children can be taught ways to protect themselves not only from strangers but also from someone they know and trust, who may try to harm them. 

Keeping Safe with Milly and Miles includes a storybook and range of related, age appropiate activities. The activities link to the EYFS Unique Child theme which contains a strong emphasis on teaching children how to keep safe. Based on the Milly and Miles Keep Safe Code children can be taught about personal safety in a sensitive age appropriate way.
