Body Safety for Children – Parent Webinar

Give Your Child the Skills to Stay Safe

Every parent wants their child to grow up safe, confident and able to speak up when something doesn’t feel right. But many parents aren’t sure where to begin or how to have age-appropriate conversations about body safety and consent.

The ChildSafe Body Safety for Children Parent Webinar is a practical and engaging 90-minute online session that gives parents the knowledge, language and confidence to teach these important life skills at home.

Developed by ChildSafe Australia in partnership with body safety educator Jayneen Sanders, this evidence-informed workshop provides simple, practical strategies that can be used with preschool and primary school-aged children.
