Safeline's Primary School Project

Safeline’s Primary School Project takes a proactive approach by providing children with essential tools to navigate the world safely.

By fostering self-esteem, confidence, and resilience, we empower children to build healthy relationships, recognise risks, and speak up when they need support. Covering critical topics such as online safety, healthy relationships, consent, mental health, and bullying, this project ensures that children are informed, supported, and encouraged to seek help from a trusted adult when needed.

I liked the teaching and the way they spoke to us. Now I’m a lot safer online playing games and watching YouTube. Its helped me to be safe and report and block somebody who is unkind, hacking or trying to get my personal details.

Key Topics

Primary School Project Overview

Online Safety

Our online safety session educates children on the importance of privacy settings, the risks associated with social media and online gaming, and the dangers of sharing personal information.

A key focus is understanding online grooming—what it is, how to recognise it, and strategies for staying safe. Through open discussions, children are encouraged to make informed choices online and feel confident in seeking help from a trusted adult if they ever feel unsafe.

Good Citizenship

This session promotes kindness, respect, and inclusivity.

Through engaging activities and discussions, children learn about the impact of their actions on others and the importance of treating everyone with fairness and compassion.

The session also covers diversity and discrimination, helping young people understand the value of equality and the role they play in creating a positive and supportive environment.

Bullying

Bullying, in all its forms—physical, verbal, emotional, and cyber—can have a profound impact on a child’s well-being.

 This session provides young people with a thorough understanding of different types of bullying, how to recognise warning signs, and the immediate and long-term effects it can have on themselves and other children. We explore real-life scenarios to help children develop empathy and recognise the power of their actions.

The session also encourages ethical bystander behaviour, teaching children practical strategies to safely intervene, support victims, and report incidents to trusted adults.

Additionally, we introduce the concept of digital resilience, equipping children with skills to manage cyberbullying, respond appropriately, and utilise online safety tools.

The session reinforces the importance of reporting bullying and ensures children are aware of available support services and how to access them.

Healthy Relationships and Consent

This session helps young people understand what makes a relationship healthy, focusing on respect, trust, and communication.

Children learn to recognise positive and negative behaviours in friendships and relationships.

We also introduce the concept of consent—what it means, why it matters, and how it applies in different situations. By fostering open discussions, we empower children to set boundaries, respect others, and seek support from trusted adults when needed or if they are worried.

Mental Health and Self-Esteem

Promoting mental well-being is crucial in childhood development.

This session explores what mental health means, providing practical strategies such as mindfulness, healthy routines, and seeking support when needed.

We also focus on self-esteem, helping children understand its impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour.

Through interactive activities and discussions, children learn how to build their confidence, develop a positive self-image, and approach challenges with resilience.

Final Week - Reflection and Celebration

In the final week of the Primary School Project, students consolidate their learning by creating posters that highlight key insights from the sessions. This creative exercise allows them to reflect on important topics such as online safety, good citizenship, bullying, healthy relationships, and mental health.

The project culminates in a group presentation, where students share their posters, strengthening their communication skills and reinforcing their understanding.

By celebrating their learning, we empower children to take pride in their  knowledge and how to apply it to keep themselves and others safe.

Prevention and Early Intervention

Our Impact

Safeline has delivered highly effective interventions in schools, significantly contributing to the safety and well-being of young people.

Our evidence-based approach has led to measurable improvements in students’ mental health, confidence, and self-esteem.

Many children report feeling more secure in their friendships, which has positively influenced their school attendance and academic performance.

Additionally, our work helps children understand how to stay safe, particularly online. Students have shared that they now use the internet more responsibly, avoid connecting with strangers, and feel more confident in recognising and responding to unsafe situations. Crucial disclosures made during our sessions have enabled Safeline to work closely with schools to safeguard vulnerable children. Furthermore, our project supports students through the critical transition into Year 7, equipping them with the resilience and skills necessary for a positive start to secondary school.

Email for Information

‘don’t put personal information out online because people all around the world could see it. The bullying session helped me be a more confident anti-bullying ambassador.

I have made a friendship with another person on the project. The lessons have also helped give me confidence when telling an adult about something that has happened’.
