Hello, we're My Safe Circle

Growing a circle
of care.

My Safe Circle is an Australian registered charity working to prevent childhood sexual abuse through education and awareness. We bring children, families and communities together to learn about safety in gentle, age-appropriate ways.

My body. My choices.

Stories and role-play introduce body autonomy, personal space and respecting each other’s boundaries.

Learning to express a boundary.

Keeping children safe is an adult responsibility. Education helps children find words and support.

For educators & school leaders

Big conversations.
Little beginnings.

Our child-safety workshops explore body autonomy, personal boundaries, consent and seeking help. Storytelling, drama and role-play make space for learning, conversation and creativity.

Let’s talk about your school

Tell us your students’ ages, group size and what your school needs.

What does a workshop involve?

Children explore fictional stories and everyday choices, practise recognising feelings, and identify trusted adults in their “Safe Circle”. Activities are designed to support confidence and help-seeking.

A gentle approach to sensitive topics

Our creative workshop framework centres age-appropriate, trauma-informed learning. Participation is voluntary; children are not asked to share personal experiences, and can choose to observe or take a quiet break.

There’s room in our circle

Your time.
Your talents.
A little difference.

Bring your interests and skills to child-safety education. Whether you enjoy creative activities, community connection or helping behind the scenes, tell us how you would like to contribute.

Say hello about volunteering

We’ll discuss suitable opportunities and the child-safety screening and preparation needed for the role.
