At Holley Park, we are proud to be a KidSafe school. The Kidsafe programme is a child-friendly, preventative children’s mental health and safeguarding programme that we run from EYFS to Year 6. The Kidssafe programme runs alongside our PSHE curriculum.

The aim of Kidsafe is to educate children about mental health and emotional wellbeing, and empowering them to speak out to a trusted adult about anything that makes them feel sad, scared or worried. This can help break the cycles of childhood trauma.

The programme aims to give children the the skills to understand, recognise and deal with situations which may cause them harm.

The KidSafe programme is age-appropriate, engaging, fun and effective, and covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Positive mental health
• Emotional wellbeing
• Understanding worried feelings
• Peer pressure
• Internet safety
• Bullying / Cyber bullying
• Keeping private places safe
• Parents / Carers arguing

Our trained practitioners for Kidsafe are Miss Welsh and Miss Mitchell.
