(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Trusted adults can be a parent, carer, teacher, or another grown-up you know keeps you safe.

In PSHE Personal Education, children practise ways to stay safe and get help. This topic explores secrets and surprises, how feelings can be clues, and what to do if someone asks you to keep something that feels wrong.

  • Secret: Something you are asked not to tell anyone.
  • Surprise: Something planned to make someone happy, like a card or gift.
  • Unsafe: Not safe, or something that could hurt you or someone else.
What is the difference between a good secret and a bad secret for age 5-7?

For age 5-7, a good secret is usually a short surprise that leads to something kind. A bad secret is one that feels scary, makes you worried, or stops you getting help.

What should I do if someone tells me not to tell an adult?

If someone says you must not tell an adult, you should still tell a trusted adult. Keeping you safe is more important than keeping a secret.

Who can I talk to if I feel worried about a secret?

You can talk to a trusted adult such as a parent, carer, teacher, or school staff member. If the first person cannot help, keep telling another adult until you feel safe.
