Tell Someone Safe: a video resource to help you prepare children for lessons on abuse and harm prevention

This video has been developed for teachers and children in primary school to view before lessons on abuse and harm prevention to help prepare them. Developed by researchers from 5 universities following pioneering research on abuse and harm prevention for primary schools. Their research in primary schools across the UK found that children, schools and teachers would benefit from being well prepared for such lessons, whether they are delivered by external organisations or by teachers themselves, before they are delivered to children in classrooms.

The video, which has been designed with the help of primary school children and professional animators, uses the views and voices of children who participated in our research to prepare all primary school children for teaching aimed at preventing abuse and harm, as set out in the Relationships Education curriculum.

This short 3-minute video is intended to be shown to primary school children of all ages before they take part in lessons on abuse and harm prevention - sometimes referred to as Healthy Relationships lessons.  We suggest that the video is shown at least one week before these lessons to give children time to think it over and talk about it with their teacher, friends and family.
