What School Communities are Saying about the Kids in the Know Program

One of the greatest strengths of the Kids in the Know Program is the expertise the school community brings to implementation and lesson delivery. The best insight into how a program works comes from those using it every day.

Here, educators and school staff share how the Kids in the Know Program, along with support from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, is making a meaningful impact in their classrooms and school communities.

At Kenora Catholic, we have witnessed firsthand how the skills taught in Kids in the Know have been applied in real-world situations. These lessons have proven instrumental in equipping our students with the tools to recognize and report inappropriate adult behavior, empowering them to understand what is unacceptable and encouraging them to seek support from another trusted adult.

The Superior North Catholic DSB has relied on the Canadian Centre for Child Protection for several years, benefiting greatly from their trusted resources and expertise. Their support has equipped our staff, students, and families with the most current, research-based tools and information to navigate emerging trends and risks effectively.

From the Commit to Kids training for staff to the Kids in the Know program for students, the Centre’s resources have played a critical role in fostering safe environments throughout our system. Their knowledgeable team and strong partnerships have been invaluable in our efforts to prioritize child safety.

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection and wholeheartedly recommend their services to any organization committed to the safety and well-being of children.
