    Child Protection Unit

    To help make our school even more safe and supportive, we are also going to use the Second Step Child Protection
    Unit. In these lessons, students will learn three types of skills:

      • Personal Safety. Students will learn important safety rules, such as safety with guns, sharp tools, and fire, and
        when riding on wheels or in cars. They will also learn ways to help them decide if something is safe or not.
      • Touching Safety. Students will learn about safe, unsafe, and unwanted touches, and rules about touching private
        body parts. They’ll also learn to say no to unsafe or unwanted touches, and to tell an adult if someone breaks
        rules about touching private body parts.
      • Assertiveness.
