THE Safety Box Protection Courses (self Defence)
Children’s Assertiveness Training Series (CATS)
This program teaches children creative and powerful skills to deal with difficult situations that they may have to face. Using non-violent strategies, children learn how to effectively avoid, control and de-escalate a bully's aggression. The following skills will be taught:
Avoiding playground altercations
How to handle name calling
Protecting personal space
Target Hardening (how not to look like a victim)
Situation Control
Setting boundaries against inappropriate touch or attention
Assessing appropriate defence and how to NOT start a fight
Stranger Awareness Training
FAST Cats teaches children how to avoid unwelcome attention from adult predators. This program uses full force defensive strikes and physical contact to fight off an adult predator.
Other skills taught include:
Getting lost prevention - using safety checklist, knowing names, address, phone numbers.
Home safety skills
Abduction awareness – basic skills to detect and avoid abduction
Target Hardening (how not to look like a victim)
How to physically break away and escape the grasp of a would be abductor
Children gain confidence with the new assertive choices they learn to apply in a wide variety of situations. By asserting proper awareness and de-escalation skills, C.A.T.S. students are far less likely to react out of anger and fear. As a result, there is less need for a physical response. All training is done in an adrenalised environment so pupils learn not to freeze and panic when they encounter dangerous situations. How you react to a situation can mean the difference between success and failure, life or death.
This course is delivered as a Activity Day or in a 6 or 7 Week Program.

We prepare our children for the world by ensuring they participate in a range of activities that will educate them physically, financially, spiritually, culturally and morally.
Even though we put a huge effort into supporting our children, what are we doing to prepare our children for their personal safety outside our doors?
Unfortunately gone are the days where a good upbringing could prepare a child for the outside world. With happy slapping, cyber bullying, robbery of smart phones/iPods and personal items there is an increasing need to support young people in protecting themselves.
At The Safety Box we have identified the most common threats to a young person’s safety and every single role-play scenario has been taken from a police report of an actual event so they are acutely relevant.
The Safety Box F.A.S.T defence courses shows pupils how the body reacts under severe, adrenaline fuelled encounters and then how to turn that reaction into a positive outcome. The defences are practiced full-on against our padded ‘Bulletmen’. Simplicity is the key to all our skills. If it isn't simple, you'll probably not be able to utilise it under pressure.
