Further to 25869 (2026); Why is the Keeping Ourselves Safe Programme only operating in 113 schools, compared to the 459 schools in the 12-month period between 10 May 2025 and 10 May 2026, and which schools was the programme previously delivered in during this period?

Answer

Keeping Ourselves Safe is primarily delivered within school communities during Terms two and three. It was delivered in 113 schools between 1 January 2026 and 10 May 2026, covering Term one and part of Term two. Between 10 May 2025 and 10 May 2026, the programme was delivered in 459 individual schools, which the Member will understand reflects its actual delivery - in that this covers Terms two and three 2025. An attempt to claim that the programme has been reduced, simply because the Member has taken a snapshot in time outside of the period in which the programme is primarily delivered, would be wrong and a fundamental misunderstanding of its usual delivery. I refer the Member to the attached table for the schools to which the programme was delivered during this 12 month period, by district.
