Government is implementing a new body safety program for kids that will be available in all K-9 classrooms by the next school year. Education Minister Krista Lynn Howell announced, Kids in the Know, is the Canadian Centre for Child Protections’ national safety education program. The program engages students with interactive activities to help build skills that increase personal safety and reduce risk of victimization online and offline. Government has also been working closely with stakeholders to identify additional measures that can be implemented to support student safety. Kids in the Know is currently available in 38 schools in kindergarten to grade 3. A further 20 schools will be added in winter 2024, ahead of full implementation for the 2025-26 school year.
