A poster in pink and blue, decorated with stars and hearts. Text reads 'You're braver than you believe & stronger than you seem & smarter than you think'.
These pictures show the cycle of abuse where someone grooms a child. The pictures were drawn to support learning about healthier relationships.
A poster with a flowers around the outside. The text reads “When I was 15 I was sexually exploited. Girls please be careful and aware of who you meet to and talk to online. Talk to someone you trust e.g., adult or friend. You are not alone.’
A Kingfisher bird in the centre with short quotes around the bird. The quotes read “We work together to help keep young people and children safe. We care. We are on your side. Boys and girls. We listen. You will be supported. We go at your pace. It’s all about you. We do not judge.”
A page split in two. One side has a pink bubble in the middle and has text which reads “Good day”, “Happy smile, confident, laughing, good mood, want to do well, feel safe, get stuff done. The other side has a grey bubble with text that reads “Bad day”, “angry, anxious, worried, don’t like myself, out of control, depressed, scared.”
A paper butterfly on a pink background. The text in the butterfly reads “I sent a nude to my boyfriend at the time and he took a picture of it on another phone and it got spread round loads of school. I was 12. I got a Kingfisher worker and I’ learning to keep myself safe.”
