A Safe Person is someone who is accountable, respects personal boundaries and doesn’t ask to keep secrets from others. Speaking to a safe person can help a child feel listened to, protected and safe. It is very important for children to know who to call in case of an emergency, if they feel uncomfortable or if they are in danger.
A Safe Person should be someone who:
- can help them if they’re ever hurt or unsafe
- doesn’t break the safety rules, or try to get the child to break them
- never asks them to keep a secret
- the child feels comfortable with and can easily talk to about things that may be difficult to talk about
- the child can trust them to keep him/her safe

The Safety Hand
You can download it and print it with your kids. The goal is to have the names and phone numbers of 5 safe persons so, if the child feels unsafe, he/she can call any of all of the adults to share what is going on. |

The Safe Person badge
These are for the kid to fill and give the Safe Person (the one who was on their Safety Hand paper) so the adult knows that there is a kid who trusts and considers him/her safe. |
