The Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum (KS:CPC) is a child safety and respectful relationships curriculum providing age and developmentally appropriate activities for children and young people from birth to year 12 (age 17+) across 7 year level documents.
The KS:CPC has gained a world class reputation due to its depth of content, breadth of learning, contemporary nature, and requirements for explicit training.
Further information can be found on the South Australian Department for Education website:
Aims
All children and young people, in developmentally appropriate ways, can:
- understand they have the right to be safe
- recognise abuse and unsafe situations
- apply knowledge, skills and understanding to be safe
- seek support for themselves or others.
Themes
The KS:CPC is predicated on two themes which are presented through age and developmentally appropriate activities:
- We all have the right to be safe.
- We can help ourselves to be safe by talking to people we trust.
Focus areas
The KS:CPC content is organised through 4 focus areas, which students access sequentially every year:
- The right to be safe
- Relationships
- Recognising and reporting abuse
- Protective strategies
