Did you know?
It is estimated that one in 10 children experience child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.1
As a community, it is our shared responsibility to safeguard children and teach them skills that will help keep them safe. Safety education helps build children’s confidence and critical thinking skills, and helps prepare them for potentially dangerous situations should they arise.
By using the Kids in the Know program at all grade levels, educators are protecting Canada’s children by teaching standards of measure for safe and unsafe situations.

Case Study: Keeping kids safe
After learning about the Kids in the Know program and the signs that may indicate a child may be in distress, a teacher recognized that one of her students was behaving differently and decided to implement the Kids in the Know lessons in her junior high classroom. Following the lesson, the same student shared with the teacher that someone in her home had been sexually abusing her. Following the disclosure, the abuser was removed from the home and the student was safe.
