Mortimer Primary School is a KidSafe UK Registered School. KidSafe UK Children’s Mental Health & Safeguarding, provides schools with in-depth training materials enabling any member of staff to deliver KidSafe UK programmes directly to pupils from Early Years Foundation Stage through to High School.

What is the KidSafe Programme?

The KidSafe UK programme is designed to be proactive, not reactive. It educates children directly and empowers them to speak out to a trusted grown-up about anything that is having a detrimental impact on their mental health and emotional wellbeing.

  • Age-Appropriate: Programmes are tailored to be age-appropriate and delivered to children without shattering their innocence, from Early Years Foundation Stage through to High School.

  • Curriculum Links: All KidSafe UK programmes contribute significantly to our delivery of PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education), RSE (Relationships and Sex Education), and meet the requirements of Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSiE).

  • Empowering Children: The programme aims to help break cycles associated with childhood trauma by giving children the tools to recognise and respond to uncomfortable feelings.

Delivery at Mortimer Primary School

All children, from Reception to Year 6, complete at least one KidSafe module per year, led by one of our trained members of staff.

Topics are carefully chosen to be age-appropriate for each year group, ensuring the overall core message is fluid and consistent across the whole school.

We teach children to recognise when something just doesn’t feel right. We call these yukky feelings.

We teach children to respond to yukky feelings by:

  • Saying no in uncomfortable situations.

  • Walking away from the problem.

  • Talking to a trusted adult.
