Course Description

Did you know up to 30 per cent of children experience some form of childhood sexual abuse? This isn't just some statistic. These are real kids with real lives and real aspirations and futures.

Luckily, our Safe4Kids Parents' Information course will provide YOU with the tools and the confidence to talk to your children about their safety in both their online and offline worlds.

Nobody wants to EVER imagine any abuse happening to their child - it's too horrendous to even think about.

But the fact is that abuse DOES happen, and if we don't know how to talk to our children about it, we are not prepared enough as parents.

Do you know what to do (or say) if your child discloses some form of abuse? (Don't worry – we give you these tools in this course!)

Our course is presented in a sensitive and easy to understand way so that you are empowered and confident to approach this topic with your family.

We know, by breaking this huge subject down to short, bite-sized videos, you'll:

  • Feel confident talking to your children and your family about this sensitive topic
  • Act appropriately and effectively when dealing with a disclosure of abuse
  • Teach your children how to have informed conversations with you about abuse and pornography (no more uncomfortable avoidances about this – we'll give you these skills!)


As you know, one of the most challenging aspects of being a parent is preparing your child for the potential challenges that exist in the world.

The thing is, though, how do you achieve this without scaring them, wrapping them in bubble wrap or providing them with too much information? It's a delicate balancing act that a lot of parents find daunting.

We understand the uncertainty that parents feel about this essential but confronting topic.

In this short, self-study online course, we will provide you with the skills, techniques and confidence that you need to comfortably and appropriately educate your children about body safety.

You CAN confidently navigate this subject with your family in a safe and nurturing way.

Our Safe4Kids Parents' Information course videos will equip you to:

  • Identify the benefits of child abuse prevention education
  • Communicate to your child the importance of Consent and recognising 'Safe Touches' and 'Unsafe Touches'
  • Identify the importance of the need for children to 'Risk on Purpose.'
  • Explain to your children the names and meaning of their different feelings
  • Help your child to recognise their body's 'Early Warning Signs.'
  • Explain to your child the difference between 'Telling and Dobbing.'
  • Engage in more active listening with your children
  • Enable your child to set up a 'Safety Team' of five trusted adults
  • Describe the services provided by the Kids Help Line
  • Explain to your child the role of the Police is to help keep us safe
  • Communicate to your children the importance of persisting in 'Telling' if they feel unsafe
  • Instruct your children on the correct anatomical names for their Private Body Parts
  • Engage your children in a discussion about the impact of pornography
  • Explain to your children that they can say 'NO' to anyone if they feel unsafe
  • Communicate to your child the importance of asking themselves the 'Three Safety Questions'
  • Explain to your child the difference between 'Safe' and 'Unsafe' secrets
  • Appropriately respond to a child's disclosure of abuse


BONUS:  This course includes a free PDF version of our Parents' Guide to Child Protection Education


With over 30 years of experience in teaching child abuse prevention education, and as an author of five children's books and two parents' guides on this subject, I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge to help parents like you keep their kids safe.

My passion is to empower and educate children to help ensure their safety and inspire and educate adults and provide them with the tools and skills to help keep children safe.

The Safe4Kids Parents' Information course will provide you with easy to follow strategies on how you can help keep your children safe from child abuse. We do this in simple, bite-sized videos.

I have delivered this training face-to-face to thousands of parents around Australia and internationally and given them the language to talk with their children and help keep them safe.

And now this training is finally available to YOU here online at a price that's less than two cinema tickets.

Testimonial

"It was a pleasure to attend Holly-ann's parenting information session. I thought I knew about Protective Behaviours before the workshop but was shocked to realise how little I did know. My kids love the books I purchased; they are a great way to start talking about the subject with them. I urge every parent to attend. You will not be disappointed." Kathy F. Hamilton Hill, Western Australia
