“Prevention is always better than cure, and that’s why we have a moral mission to provide compassion and support as soon as problems emerge, and do all that we can to ensure that every single child in the country has an equal chance to succeed in life, no matter their background or family circumstances.”
“If the world is going to be saved, teach the children!”
“I met Hayley on 22nd May last year, I was spell bound for some 2 hours! And that, coming from a reasonably hardened business adviser and professional accountant of 45 years, says something!
Hayley talked about her experiences with `lost` children, teenagers and young twenties. She talked about the range of problems all of them had from abuse, drugs and alcohol.
Hayley talked with a passion and vehemence about how they are being failed by the `system’ and how she was trying to help and care.
During their time at primary school, children will encounter many of life’s challenges for the first time. To help keep them safe and healthy it is important that they develop the correct skills to manage different influences and pressures that they may be presented with. It is essential that children understand that their choices can lead to different consequences or outcomes.
We live in a world where everybody is searching for the cure. The cure for addiction, obesity, repeat offending, a cure for the rise in unemployment, domestic violence etc. The reason why there is such commitment to finding cures is because you can see results when a situation appears to be fixed but it is time for change, prevention is the key.

“I applaud the thought and hard work that has gone into producing this very relevant and comprehensive resource. The videos, associated activities, and high production values make this a ‘must have’ resource for use in schools to support the teaching of being safe within a comprehensive PSHE programme. I particularly like the innovative alternative ending to the video stories which will clearly make children think about their own and others’ behaviour.
Today we have seen the release of the House of Commons Education Committee’s report on PSHE and SRE in schools.
We are dedicated to discovery and always welcome any innovative ideas from creative sources, let us know your thoughts on our website whether they may be good or bad.
