Building Confidence, Ensuring Safety: Safe Touch Awareness Sessions

at Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School, Sector 10, Gurugram

‘The safety of children is not a privilege; it is a right. Empowering them with knowledge and confidence is the first step towards protecting that right.’

The Health & Wellness Programme of Brahm Dutt Blue Bells Public School, under the mentorship of Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director (Health & Wellness), BBGS organized a significant initiative to raise awareness about personal safety among students and fostering a sense of security and safety. From September to November 2024, a series of Safe Touch sessions were conducted for Primary and Middle school students during their Value Education & Life Skills Education classes to promote awareness of personal safety and security. The core objective of these sessions, which were tailored separately for boys and girls, was to educate students on recognizing potential risks in their environment and to empower them to understand the importance of maintaining & respecting personal boundaries.

In addition to discussing personal and stranger safety, the sessions provided information about the school’s health and wellness programmes, including access to counsellors and the Child Helpline Number, ensuring each student is aware of the available resources and seeks help when needed. Life Skills Facilitators played a key role in guiding open discussions and encouraging students to build self-confidence and consciousness. Overall, the sessions were a vital component of the school’s ongoing efforts to safeguard and support its students.
