Overview

About Parent Resources

Parents and caregivers are often the first people a child turns to. Many adults want to talk about safety but are unsure where to start, what words to use or how to respond if a child shares something difficult.

SSGT parent resources are being developed around practical, everyday situations, with clear language and simple steps that fit into family life.

Intended audience

  • Parents, grandparents, guardians and caregivers
  • Schools and organisations supporting parent engagement

Purpose

To help caregivers build open, trusting communication with children and to know how to respond responsibly when a concern arises.

Resource areas

Guidance for everyday family life

Below are short, general good-practice notes for each area. Detailed guides and downloadable materials are being developed and will be added once reviewed.

  • Talking with children

    Starting age-appropriate conversations about safety, feelings and the body.

    • Choose calm, everyday moments such as car journeys, mealtimes or bedtime.
    • Use simple, accurate words that match your child's age.
    • Keep conversations short and return to them often.

    Detailed guide forthcoming

  • Listening without judgement

    Responding calmly so children feel safe to share.

    • Stay calm and give your full attention.
    • Thank your child for telling you, and let them know it is not their fault.
    • Avoid asking leading questions. If you are worried, seek advice from a qualified service.

    • Respect your child's 'no' in everyday situations, such as hugs or tickling.

    • Share what your child is learning so messages are consistent at home.

Potential benefits

Why it matters

  • Builds caregiver confidence to start age-appropriate conversations
  • Offers practical language for listening and responding calmly
  • Keeps messages consistent between home and school
  • Points families toward appropriate support rather than asking them to handle concerns alone

These are intended benefits. Outcomes will be reported only when supported by evidence.

How it fits the framework

  • Parent/Caregiver layer

    Caregivers receive practical guidance for supportive communication.

  • Child layer

    Children benefit from consistent, reassuring messages at home.

  • School layer

    Schools can share resources as part of parent-engagement activities.

Implementation considerations

  • Resources should be accessible in relevant local languages and formats
  • Guidance should be reviewed by people with child-safeguarding expertise
  • Materials should acknowledge diverse family structures and circumstances

Safeguarding and privacy

  • Resources provide general guidance and are not a substitute for professional advice.
  • Caregivers are directed to qualified services when they have a concern, not asked to investigate.
  • If a child is in immediate danger, families should contact emergency services.

An educational and preventive tool

Parent Resources supports learning and preparedness. It does not replace statutory child-protection authorities, emergency services, qualified professionals or a setting’s established safeguarding procedures.
