Information for Parents

Using This Resource with Your Child

What does it mean for your child to be a responsible citizen? Does your child understand the possible consequences of his/her actions?

These are important questions that we must be prepared to answer as parents and guardians. Often children don't completely understand how their attitudes, behaviours and actions may impact others.

We hope that the valuable safety information provided on this website will assist you and your child to better understand the importance of making responsible safety choices. Each of the modules contains safety messages and strategies which have been developed by a team of professionals. The content has been designed to encourage discussion between children and parents.

Click on a module at the top of the page to begin exploring. You will be directed to an introductory page for each topic which provides a quick overview for a better understanding of the subject. Navigating the website takes children deeper into the topic. You and your child will investigate the topics with videos, interactive games and thoughtful opportunities to delve deeper into the issues.
