How It Works — A Simple, Proactive Approach to Child Safety

Guy & Cesar uses a calm, preventative approach to help children and adults build safety awareness before harm occurs. Our model is designed to be simple, flexible, and easy to understand — whether used at home, in schools, or within organisations.

Step 1: Child-Facing Stories

Children are introduced to important safety concepts through age-appropriate storybooks featuring familiar characters and everyday situations. These stories help children understand feelings, boundaries, and trusted adults without fear-based messaging.

Step 2: Shared Conversations

Stories naturally open the door to gentle conversations between children and trusted adults. This shared understanding helps reinforce learning, build confidence, and encourage children to speak up when something doesn’t feel right.

Step 3: Practical Support for Adults

Adults are supported with clear guidance that helps them recognise concerns early, respond appropriately, and maintain consistent messages across home, school, and community environments.

Why a Proactive Approach Matters

Most systems respond only after harm has occurred. Guy & Cesar focuses on prevention by building awareness early, strengthening communication, and supporting adults and children together. This approach helps create safer environments long before intervention is needed.
