PERSONAL SAFETY
For over 30 years, we have provided personal safety education for children in Huron County schools. We focus on educating young children to ensure they understand their rights, body part location and proper names, how to identify trusted adults, how to seek help and consent.
A Guide to Your Role in Protecting All Children in Huron County is now available, thanks to funding from Ontario Trillium Foundation. If you would like to download a copy of the Parent Guide, click here. If your community group or school parent council would like to learn more or receive a presentation from our staff at your next meeting, please contact our office.

Children are learning to use devices and interact online at increasingly younger ages. It can be challenging for parents to know how to keep their children safe online, but it is important.
