Personal Safety

Important information for parents:

Child Find Manitoba’s Kids in the Know Program is being used again this year to teach personal safety strategies. Although three or four lessons may not be sufficient enough for children to protect themselves from victimization, children must be continually reminded and taught to make the right choices. For that reason, Child Find Manitoba has developed several "take home" lessons to compliment the initial learning sessions. Parents must share the responsibility to instruct children on personal safety. Parents are asked to visit Child Find Manitoba’s website at http:// www.kidsintheknow.ca to access and download the Kids in the Know parent-child lessons to reinforce and strengthen your son/daughter’s capability to protect themselves and to obtain more information on child personal safety.

Children must be provided with the information, skills and support to help keep themselves safe from victimization and make appropriate decisions when faced with a dangerous situation. Together we can provide children with the tools needed to keep themselves safer from victimization.

Between the months of April and June - All kindergarten to grade 5 students will be taught this program

If you have any questions or concerns about this program in your school, please contact Ms. Warrenchuk at 204-888- 0680
