O.U.R. Children's Safety Project: Safety Checklist

Event Description

The O.U.R. Children's Safety Project supports parents in educating themselves and their children about child safety. This session introduces a draft safety checklist looking at measuring the safety of our kids related to their knowledge, skills, and interpersonal relationships. Aimed at increasing the protective factors for both parents and children, this checklist lists specific skills and understanding that will guide parents in knowing where their child may need more support.  

Presenters

Presented by Harold Johnson EdD and Sara Kennedy, O.U.R. Children's Project Team.

*What is O.U.R. Children Safety Project - (Observe, Understand, and Respond)?

Hands & Voices has created a Community of Learners, comprised of parents, family members and professionals, to explore and develop activities that will work to increase the safety and success of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This welcoming and inclusive community of learners values participation from Hands & Voices leadership including GBYS and ASTra program staff. Through discussion and critical reflection, the group focuses on issues to increase awareness and understanding surrounding prevention of child maltreatment for deaf, hard of hearing and DHH Plus children. Together, members of O.U.R. identify and determine action steps that support others in their local communities that serve to observe and respond to instances of abuse, neglect, and bullying, as well as cohesively work to enhance policies for prevention within the systems of care serving D/HH children and families. The O.U.R Children’s Safety Project incorporates the foundation and mission of Hands & Voices, and as such guides the message of prevention throughout Hands & Voices state and provincial chapters in order to carry out the work that enables deaf, hard of hearing and DHH Plus children to reach their highest potential.
