Everyday Safety Awareness
Keep themselves safe in everyday situations — knowing basic safety rules about roads, strangers, water, and the internet — and understanding who their trusted adults are and when to tell them something
Suggested ages 5–7
Learning journey
Your child is learning to make good choices — understanding right from wrong, keeping themselves safe, thinking about consequences, and following rules because they understand why they matter.
Evidence of understanding
- State at least three basic safety rules and explain why each matters
- Name their trusted adults and describe when they should tell them something
- Demonstrate safe behaviour in a familiar everyday situation without being reminded
Assessment prompt
Does Everyday Safety Awareness know their basic safety rules — like not going off with someone they don't know, looking both ways before crossing, and telling you if something online makes them uncomfortable?
