Empower children with disability with crucial knowledge of body safety and consent. This book teaches children with disability about body safety and consent and provides them with essential skills to recognise unsafe situations. Using age-appropriate language and illustrations, it addresses the needs and challenges often faced by children with disability, helping them understand their rights regarding their bodies and personal space.

My Body Safety Rules serves two purposes:

The first is to educate children with disability on body safety and consent and what they can expect from the people who interact with them.

The second is to educate family, caregivers, teachers, and healthcare professionals about body safety and the language of consent and how they need to respect the child's rights, especially regarding their body.

Depending on the child's needs, this book may be read over several sittings. Please take the time to discuss each rule, the illustrations and engage the child in the questions provided. Each child's disability is unique. Please adapt the text to the needs and abilities of the child.

Key topics covered include:

  • body boundaries and consent
  • respect and 'checking in'
  • greetings are a child's choice
  • private and public spaces
  • private parts are private
  • recognizing Early Warning Signs
  • developing a Safety Network
  • what to do when feeling unsafe
  • the difference between secrets and surprises

Comprehensive Discussion Questions are included to further draw out the learning.

About the Author

Jayneen Sanders (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced Australian early years educator, children’s book author and publisher. She began her teaching career in the 1980s as a primary school teacher in rural Queensland, Australia. She then moved to Melbourne, Victoria, and taught at several inner-city schools.  In 1985, Jayneen had a change of career and became an educational editor and publisher. In the early 90s, Jayneen and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers. They lived and worked in Japan for over three and a half years. In fact, Jayneen's first daughter was born there. On returning to Australia, Jayneen began working as an educational author/packager. Since then, she has authored and produced numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. Jayneen is also an accomplished children's book author, writing titles for literacy series such as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a children's picture book series for Penguin. Jayneen is currently the lead author of the literacy series ‘Engage Literacy’ published by Capstone. She has written over 150 titles for that series. Jayneen is a mother of three daughters and was a school councillor at her local school for over seven years. This time spent in schools both as a teacher and a parent inspired her to ask the question of her community: 'What are we doing in schools to protect our children from inappropriate touch?' When she realised very little was being done, she decided to use her authoring and publishing skills to write 'Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept' to help parents, carers and teachers to broach this subject and encourage children to speak up. After the encouraging response to 'Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept', Jayneen realised there was a need to further build upon the idea of prevention education. Jayneen participated in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on the topic to educate herself in how to keep children safe and provide them with age-appropriate and empowering body safety and consent education.  Jayneen then went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teacher's Resource Kit as well as writing many more children's books on the topics of body safety, consent, respect, gender equality, social and emotional intelligence, and diversity and inclusion. Jayneen currently works with her partner, Mark Sanders to run Educate2Empower Publishing. Her ongoing passion for the safety and empowerment of children continues today, with new manuscripts and free-to-download resources always in the wings.
