The Safe Network has developed this resource to help facilitators and trainers raise awareness of child protection issues in black and minority ethnic communities.

Together we can help ensure that children and young people are better informed, better cared for and better protected.




This exciting and innovative CD Rom has been produced by the NSPCC to enable trainers and group leaders to take children’s safeguarding to the very heart of black and minority ethnic communities.

This unique resource provides an opportunity for participants to share and learn about positive and harmful childcare practices and ways in which children can be kept safe.

It is suitable for use with parents, carers, community groups, staff and volunteers working with or in black and minority ethnic communities.


Module one features a range of activities that help participants to recall childhood experiences and the way they have affected their opinions on how children are cared for now.

Module two features a range of activities that aredesigned to raise awareness about core aspects of child abuse in a cultural and legal context.

Module three features a range of activities that help participants to identify and strengthen practices in the family and community that protect children from harm, and offers guidance on where they can find support.

Facilitators can select activities and develop individual sessions or a series of workshops, depending on the needs of the audience.


The CD resource will be produced in the following languages:

• English
• Urdu
• Bengali
• Arabic
• French
• Chinese.
