Primary SCHOOL CHILDREN
Sessions children take part in, not just sit through.
Children don’t always know when something is wrong. Manipulation and familiar environments can make harm feel normal. This session helps children recognise their feelings and gives them the language to make sense of them.
What this session is
It runs as a game, with a tambourine, music, and a task that draws the whole class in from the first minute. The same task is used to close the session, by which point the energy in the room has opened up completely. Across the levels, I weave in pieces of my own story alongside everyday examples that help children connect the dots.
It’s interactive, inclusive, and built so every child in the room takes part. By the end, children come away feeling good about themselves, inspired, and with a clearer understanding of things that often go unspoken at this age.
It’s about what happens when an external voice walks in with a different style and a real reason for being there. Some of what I cover in these sessions wasn’t talked about in schools when I was growing up, and a lot of it still isn’t. Coming in from the outside, with my own story underneath it, gives children another way to hear what already matters in your school.
Why a different voice makes a difference
A bit about my story
When I was eight years old, I was sexually abused by a thirty-five-year-old man who was known to my family. It continued for around a year. Nobody knew. I showed no signs.
I went on to have a career designing supercars for McLaren before this work, which is something the children find fascinating, and it always sparks questions. I use it to talk about learning, curiosity, and where those things can take you. The story is shared in pieces, age-appropriately, and tied into the levels of the game.
How the session works
Level 1
Level 2
Feelings. Recognising different feelings and what those feelings might be telling us.
Level 3
Your Team. Identifying the trusted adults in their life who are there to help.
Level 4
Your Voice. Learning when and how to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Level 5
The Final Boss. A recap of everything they’ve covered, brought together so it makes sense as a whole.
A key safety message is repeated three times across the session, read out by a different child each time. Repetition like this is intentional, so the message stays with them after I’ve left.
The levels build toward one simple but important idea. Children have a team around them, and they have a voice. When they understand both, they’re better placed to use them.
Two ways this can be delivered
Classroom sessions
(up to 30 children per class)
- Children feel more comfortable speaking up and contributing
- Easier interaction, with space for every child to take part
- Includes a writing task that isn’t possible in a larger group
- Covering Years 3 to 6 takes around two days
Year group sessions in the main hall
- The whole school (Years 3 to 6) can be covered in one day
- More cost-effective for the school
- Less individual interaction and no writing task
- Strong format for getting the core messages across to a full year group at once
If you’re not sure which format suits your school, get in touch and we’ll talk it through.
Practical details
Year groups are kept separate so everything stays age-appropriate for the children in the room. The format fits easily into the school day, whichever delivery option you choose.
Schools often choose to pair the children’s session with a short staff training and a parent talk on the same visit, or arranged separately if that works better. The parent talk is different to the general parent information session on this site. It’s a focused conversation about what’s actually been covered with the children that day, a little about my story, and what parents can do to carry the conversation on at home. It can be delivered in person or online, whatever suits your school. Ask about this when you get in touch.

Frequently asked questions
Is this appropriate for primary school children?
Yes. The session is designed specifically for primary age children and uses a game-based format to explore body and online safety in a way that feels age-appropriate, engaging, and accessible. There are no scary words or graphic content. The aim is to give children language and confidence, not to alarm them. If you have specific concerns before booking, I’m always happy to talk them through.
What age groups does this work for?
The session works across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, but year groups are always kept separate so the conversations are right for the children in the room. Everything is adapted for the age group being addressed.
Can the session be delivered to a full year group, or does it need to be smaller?
Both are possible. Classroom sessions take place with up to 30 children at a time and allow for more interaction and a writing task. Year group sessions take place in the main hall and are a more cost-effective way to cover the whole school in a single day. Get in touch and we’ll talk through which format suits your school.
Do staff need to be present?
Yes. I ask that a member of staff is present throughout. This supports the safeguarding protocol and means there is always someone in the room who knows the children if anything comes up.
What if a child discloses something during or after the session
These sessions can open conversations. I follow a clear safeguarding protocol and will always involve the appropriate member of staff if something comes up during the session. Your team will also receive guidance ahead of the visit so you feel prepared for any conversations that happen afterwards.
What do we need to do to prepare?
I send a pre-session pack ahead of the visit. This includes a script for introducing the session to children, a guide for attending staff, and information for parents. Everything you need to feel ready before I walk through the door. If you’d like to include a staff training or parent talk as part of the visit, that’s worth raising when you get in touch.
Does this complement what we already teach?
Yes, and that’s the intention. Schools already do important work around body and online safety. This session reinforces those messages in a different format and through a different voice, so something that may not have connected before starts to make sense.
Does this session align with statutory safeguarding guidance
Yes. The content is designed to complement and support the requirements set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). If you’d like to talk through how the session aligns with your school’s specific safeguarding framework, I’m happy to have that conversation before you book.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the format you choose, the number of sessions, and how the day is structured. Get in touch and I’ll put together something that works for your school.
