protective behaviours
We can all play a role in the care, safety and protection of children.
eSafeKids strives to reduce and prevent harm through proactive prevention education, supporting and inspiring parents, carers, educators and other professionals to talk with children, young people and vulnerable adults about protective behaviours and body safety.
eSafeKids provides workshops and webinars throughout metropolitan and regional Australia and internationally. All workshops are delivered by Kayelene Kerr.

Protective Behaviours & Body Safety
Talking about child abuse is a sensitive topic and sometimes parents/carers don’t know where to start. Thankfully there is a way to provide children with these necessary life skills and strategies that is non-confronting and child friendly.
This comprehensive parent/carer workshop is filled with real world examples to educate, equip, empower, support and inspire you. You will leave this workshop with up-to-date information, conversation starters, practical strategies and resource recommendations.

Talking About Sexual Abuse
In 2011 The Hon Peter Blaxell commenced a Special Inquiry ‘St Andrew’s Hostel Katanning: How the system and society failed our children’. The Blaxell Inquiry highlighted that historically, the teaching has been poor in the area of sex education and protective behaviours, specifically stating it has been; “... of a very low quality and usually limited to the occasional warnings of the “stranger danger” variety. The standard stereotype of child molesters being old men in raincoats sidling up to the school yard was very misleading for children.”
There remains a critical need for sexual abuse prevention education to be delivered to secondary school age students. Our Talking About Sexual Abuse workshop is designed to assist young people: identify unsafe situations; respond in unsafe situations; report unsafe situations.
