PreventEd now proudly offering free workshops for Parents and Caregivers of children ages 0-6 years

Helping young children grow up feeling safe, respected and supported starts with the small everyday conversations we have with them.

PreventEd is offering free Safer Futures, Together workshops for parents and caregivers of children aged 0–6, providing practical knowledge and guidance to help families build the foundations for safer futures.

The early years are an important time for children to develop their understanding of relationships, boundaries and how to communicate their feelings. As parents and caregivers, we play a key role in helping children feel safe, understand respect and know that their voices matter.

But knowing how to approach these conversations isn't always easy. Many parents and caregivers have questions about what is appropriate at different ages, how to respond when children ask questions about their bodies, and how to introduce ideas about personal safety in ways that feel natural and age-appropriate.

The Safer Futures, Together workshops are designed to help make these conversations easier.

Small everyday actions can make a difference

Delivered by PreventEd's trained facilitators, the workshops provide practical, accessible information to help parents and caregivers support children's safety and wellbeing from an early age.

Participants will gain valuable knowledge about how to:

• Support children to understand respect, boundaries and personal safety.
• Answer children's questions in age-appropriate ways.
• Encourage open communication and help children feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.
• Recognise the importance of everyday interactions in building children's understanding of safety and respectful relationships.

The workshops offer an opportunity to explore these topics in a supportive environment, ask questions and consider practical ways to apply what you've learned at home.
