• teach children a range of safe practices that they can use when interacting with other people;
• encourage children who have been, or are being abused to seek help;
• contribute to an overall community prevention programme by making parents and teachers more aware of their responsibilities to help children avoid abuse.

General objectives:

• children feel good about themselves
• children build positive relationships with peers and adults
• children identify their feelings and express these appropriately
• children know and recognise inappropriate behaviour and touch and have strategies to handle this
• adults promote safe practices in different environments that will keep children safe from harm
• adults recognise signs and symptoms of abuse and know what to do.

There are seven focus area's in the All About Me programme.  When we introduce a new focus area, we will place the information sheet on this website.  The order of the focus areas may not be in order of numbers one - seven.
