Welcome to Safety Net

Hi! We are the Safety Net Kids! We call ourselves that because we have all been involved with Safety Net at looking at things that make us feel unsafe and working on them ourselves. To be safe means to be comfy and not scared.  We do things like standing up to bullies without being mean, listening to our bodies as they are clever at spotting danger and thinking about things we can do to make the areas where we live safer.

Do you want to have a voice and make a difference?

Tell us what you think

We decided Safety Net should have a better website because we want other children to know about what we do so you can come along or if you are a bit shy you can still learn about helping yourself to be safe from looking on here. About 200 of us aged 8-13 have put together this website with Emma from Safety Net. Emma organised games to get out our ideas, we looked at other websites and thought about how much money it would all cost.

What do you think? Email Emma and let us know your thoughts on the website emma.lacey@safety-net.org.uk
