Each year in the final term, Scoil Ursula runs a personal safety education programme called Stay Safe to classes from Senior Infants to 6th Class. The aim of the Stay Safe programme is to teach children personal safety skills so they can look after themselves in situations which could be upsetting or dangerous. It deals initially with common situations which most children will experience at some stage or other, e.g. getting lost or being bullied. The programme also teaches children the safety skills necessary to protect themselves from physical or sexual abuse. Essentially the programme teaches children to tell a trusted adult about any problems they may have.
The Stay Safe programme is a joint initiative between Departments of Health and Education and has been endorsed by all the partners in Education. Co-operation between parents and teachers is essential to the success of this programme. It is important that parents are aware of the content of the Stay Safe lessons and are able to discuss the lessons with their children.
Below is an overview of the content at the different levels:
See below for a Parents' Guide to the Stay Safe Programme.

If you do not wish your child to participate in the Stay Safe Programme, please contact your child's teacher in writing.
