Safeguarding & Early Intervention Resources for Primary Schools (UK)

Guy & Cesar provides preventative safeguarding storybooks and structured adult companion toolkits designed to support early intervention in primary school settings. Our resources help schools introduce sensitive topics calmly, consistently, and in an age-appropriate way for children aged 5–10.

This page brings together safeguarding-aligned storybooks, structured adult guidance, and practical implementation support for schools seeking a proactive approach.

Why Preventative Safeguarding Matters

Effective safeguarding begins before a crisis. Early, calm conversations about boundaries, emotional awareness, safe decision-making, and speaking up create a stronger foundation for child protection.

Story-led approaches can help introduce complex topics in a developmentally appropriate way, supporting both pupils and staff in maintaining consistency across safeguarding practices.

How Storybooks Support Safeguarding Conversations

Storybooks provide structured, repeatable language that helps staff introduce important safeguarding themes without alarm or fear-based messaging. They create shared vocabulary within classrooms and support gradual learning across key stages.

When supported by adult companion toolkits, storybooks can strengthen observation consistency, documentation awareness, and professional reflection.
