Promoting the safety and wellbeing of deaf children


Safe helps you to strengthen the self-confidence and self-esteem of deaf children, enabling them to seek help and advice when they need it.

  • feelings
  • relationships
  • differences
  • bullying
  • growing up (including sex education)
  • safety indoors, outdoors and on the road
  • internet and mobile phone safety.

Young deaf presenters present each of the topics on the DVD-Rom and there are role plays (short films), storyboards, animations, a glossary of British Sign Language (BSL) terms and other learning resources to help you.
