Miss Dorothy
Keeping children safe …
It is well known that if children do not feel safe, they cannot learn to their full potential. The missdorothy.com programme educates children aged 7-11 on how to keep safe and manage the risks they may face at school, home, in their local communities and online.
Children are taught vital safety messages through the character-based programme and discuss real problems that they face in a constructive and friendly way. This programme is delivered in partnership with the Metropolitan Police.
