In the past several years, many states including NY, have passed  Erin's Law with the intent of increasing the awareness of child abuse. In Spencerport, our schools will continue to work with Community Educators from Child Advocacy Center to help us deliver the Monique Burr Foundation (MBF) Child Safety Matters™ program from the Monique Burr Foundation for Children. The program consists of age-appropriate lessons to help children spot and respond to child abuse (physical, sexual and neglect), bullying and digital dangers. Most importantly, it teaches that adults are responsible for children's safety. The program is based on the latest research and has been reviewed and endorsed by national experts. CMS students will begin receiving these lessons on February 1.

 

What exactly is covered in the lessons? MBF Child Safety Matters covers personal safety, all types of child abuse, digital abuse, bullying, cyberbullying and other digital dangers. The lessons focus on teaching children to rely on safe adults for support. Lessons are taught using age-appropriate and child-friendly language, fun games, and activities. See and complete the attached if you select to have your student opt out.
