At The John Roan School we strive to ensure that your child leads a safe and healthy lifestyle. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that educates your child in what a successful, healthy lifestyle looks like and guides them in how to identify risks and dangers that could affect them.
As parents, you want to make sure that your children develop healthily and thrive. We're here to help you with advice on how you can build strong relationships with your children and keep them safe.
It's more than just physical safety. A big part of keeping children safe is making sure to look after their emotional and mental well-being. Helping them develop healthy emotional bonds from infancy can have a lifelong effect, and a strong relationship can make it easier when you want to discuss issues such as expressions of sexual behaviour or self-harm.
Of course, some people find it awkward to talk about certain subjects. So, if you don't know how to talk to your child about difficult issues, these pages will provide helpful advice and support.
As your child grows older, you'll also worry about how to keep them safe when you're not always around. When is a child old enough to be home alone? And how can they keep safe when they're out on their own? You'll also want to teach them about online safety and the dangers of sexting - and help them understand how to stay safe on social networks by being Share Aware.
