What would your child do if...?

What if you're at the park and an adult you don't know asks you to help find their lost puppy?
Adults ask adults for help.
What if they say, "Please, it'll only take a minute"?
Same answer. A real adult will wait for your parent.
Tap any answer.
Most parents know they should talk about bullying, strangers and online safety. Few know how to start. Lectures get tuned out, and one talk isn't enough. In the moment, kids do what they've practised.
Under stress, you don't rise to the occasion. You fall to what you can remember.
The talks parents put off.
34 scenarios, sorted by age and topic.
Dinner table or car ride.
No prep. You don't need to know the answers. Each one shows SAFE's answer and why. In the car, your child holds the phone and reads. You keep your eyes on the road and just talk.
"Wait, what would YOU do, Dad?"
Five minutes. One rule. And they'll want another.
Built by Chris Roberts, SAFE International
Teaching young people to stay safe has been my priority since 1994, including 26 years of live programmes in high schools. Teachers told me year after year that SAFE was their favourite unit. At parent-teacher interviews, parents told them how glad they were SAFE was offered, and that their kids loved it.
SAFE What If? brings that same approach to your kitchen table.

Questions parents ask
Before you start
Will this scare my child?
No. Each scenario is a calm, everyday "what if." There are no scary pictures or stories. You choose the topics, and anything sensitive is marked so you can preview it first.
What ages is it for?
Ages 6 to 18. For 6-7, you read it aloud. For 8-10, read it together. From 11 up, they read and you talk.
Is this a course?
No. It's a conversation starter. Most scenarios take 2 to 5 minutes. Do one or two at dinner or in the car.
What does it cost?
Free access is free. There's also a full version for families who want every scenario and topic. You'll see it after you sign up. No pressure.
Do I need an app or a login?
No. It works in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer.
