Educator Appraisal

So So Safe emphasises on teaching children about personal safety. It covers critical topics such as like understanding safe and unsafe touch, recognising signs of abuse, and knowing how to seek help, and it can help empower children to better understand boundaries and know their rights. I like that the resources age appropriate and sensitive it it presents serious topics in a way children and those we send can understand without feeling too overwhelmed or scared. It helps to build confidence and communication skills and then promotes a safe environment in schools. I didn't like that it's resource intensive through the time and the time spent training and then the resources that the programme uses.

Evidence Rating

So Safe is strongly designed around evidence, drawing from established theories and reccomendation based on what had been determined to be effective from multiple studies. However there is a lack of studies evaluating the resource itself.
