Talk soon and often to keep your kids safe

Creating a safe space for open communication is one of the best things you can to do to ensure your child will come to you if they need help.

Open discussions at home gives children permission to talk with you about sex and sexual body parts which makes them feel safe to ask questions and let you know if they are worried about something.

This kind of open communication helps protect your children from harm. They know that they can come to you if they have come across something upsetting online.

It helps them to speak up if someone is bullying, harassing or hurting them. And it can help prevent abusers from keeping their crimes a secret.

Taking soon...and talking often...is the best way to give your child lots of opportunities to come to you for help and support.
