One of the greatest strengths of the Kids in the Know Program is the expertise the school community brings to implementation and lesson delivery. The best insight into how a program works comes from those using it every day.
Here, educators and school staff share how the Kids in the Know Program, along with support from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, is making a meaningful impact in their classrooms and school communities.
My daughter came home with a Kids in the Know resource called Zoe and Molly Online. I was more than thrilled to see her come home with it, go through the games, and explain what she learned. I’m constantly battling my online safety concerns against being too protective. I can say with confidence these programs and materials make a difference!
The Superior North Catholic DSB has relied on the Canadian Centre for Child Protection for several years, benefiting greatly from their trusted resources and expertise. Their support has equipped our staff, students, and families with the most current, research-based tools and information to navigate emerging trends and risks effectively.
From the Commit to Kids training for staff to the Kids in the Know program for students, the Centre’s resources have played a critical role in fostering safe environments throughout our system. Their knowledgeable team and strong partnerships have been invaluable in our efforts to prioritize child safety.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection and wholeheartedly recommend their services to any organization committed to the safety and well-being of children.
When our division created a Kids in the Know administrative procedure, I reached out to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection to see if they would like to support us in the process. I was pleasantly surprised by how much time the team put into supporting us in creating the administrative procedure and their commitment in supporting our school division to help educate parents on the benefits of the Kids in the Know program. A big thank you from the Prairie Rose School Division to the Canadian Centre for Child Protection.
At Kenora Catholic, we have witnessed firsthand how the skills taught in Kids in the Know have been applied in real-world situations. These lessons have proven instrumental in equipping our students with the tools to recognize and report inappropriate adult behavior, empowering them to understand what is unacceptable and encouraging them to seek support from another trusted adult.
In SD58 we are grateful for the lessons and use of the program Kids in the Know to help bring awareness and safety to our community. In cooperation with the Canadian Center for Child Protection we have Indigenized lessons to compliment the program to enhance our learning and cultural connection. Through these connections and lessons our goal is to help build a safe community for our families.
