About the program

Body Safety Superstars empowers children with the knowledge and skills to understand their right to bodily autonomy, communicate boundaries and seek help when they need it.

The program is tailored to each age and year level, with content becoming more detailed as children grow. Through games, stories, group activities and guided discussion, children explore ten key learning objectives designed to build body safety knowledge, confidence and help-seeking skills.
