Something Has Happened: A Storybook and Guide for Safeguarding and Supporting Childrens Right to Feel Safe by Liz Bates

This beautifully illustrated storybook and guide have been created to teach children that being safe from harm is the most important right they have. them. Covering all of the fundamental aspects of safeguarding, the invaluable lessons in this resource will teach children how to ask for help if they ever feel unsafe.

"Something Has Happened is a valuable and practical safeguarding resource for all professionals who work with childrenIt covers key themes about feeling and being safe in a detailed, yet engaging, way. The reading book can be used as a standalone resource with clear language and charming illustration, but when combined with the lesson plans and resources it becomes an even more powerful tool to empower children to recognise their own feelings of safety or otherwise and to act upon those feelings appropriately to safeguard themselves.

Staff are clearly guided through the lesson plans, with suggestions of appropriate language to use to draw out the main protective behaviours themes and useful photocopiable resources are provided. The fact that we never learn what Joe's "worry" is helps to make the resource universal - it can be used in the curriculum to support children with common worries, through to things that require an "Early Help" approach with other agencies, through to serious disclosures of abuse and neglect. Giving children the language and permission to talk about their worries in this way is both powerful and positive."
