The Wee VIP Programme

Wee V.I.P. is an abuse prevention programme which introduces simple personal safety messages to children in nursery schools, early primary years and playgroups.

The programme resources encourage children to explore feelings and identify what ‘being safe’ means to them. The resources teach children how to ‘Say No! Go! Tell!’ if they feel upset or hurt.

The programme is made up of a fully photocopyable pack, and a number of extra resources which can supplement the pack, or be used individually.

Aims and objectives of the programme

• Increase the ability of young children to deal with potentially dangerous
  situations
• Provide resources for teachers to talk to young children about staying safe
• Promote the message ‘Say No! Go! Tell!’
