Protective Behaviours

Safety Net uses a programme called Protective Behaviours to help in promoting safety and well-being. The approach enables children, young people and adults to recognise and trust their intuitive feelings and to develop strategies for self protection and networks of support. Protective Behaviours helps to promote emotional well-being and resilience and is based on two key themes:

"We All have the Right to Feel Safe all of the Time"

"There is Nothing so Awful that we can't Talk with Someone about it"

Protective Behaviours (PB's) is a safety awareness programme which helps children and adults to recognise any situation where they feel worried or unsafe such as feeling stressed, bullied or threatened and explores practical ways to keep safe. Protective Behaviours also looks at identifying support networks for times when we need someone to listen and help. For an introductory leaflet click here.

The programme can be used in a wide range of settings by teachers, parents, women's refuge workers, the police, social workers, youth workers, health visitors and community workers. The approach therefore also provides a useful framework for partnership working.
