ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Safe Schools Coalition Australia

Okay kiddo, let me explain Safe Schools Coalition Australia to you.

You know how you go to school to learn new things and make friends, right? Well, sometimes kids can be mean to each other and make others feel bad just because they are different. This can happen if a kid looks different, has a different religion, or likes different things than other kids.

That's where Safe Schools Coalition Australia comes in. They are a group of grown-ups who want to make sure that all kids feel safe and welcome at school, no matter who they are. They have come up with some special ways to help kids who might be feeling left out or bullied.

One thing they do is called 'no bystanders'. This means that if you see someone being made fun of or bullied, you shouldn't just stand there and watch. You should tell a teacher or grown-up so they can help that person.

Safe Schools Coalition Australia also help teachers learn how to deal with kids who are being bullied or being mean to others. They teach teachers how to listen to kids and how to help them solve problems without anyone getting hurt.

So, in short, Safe Schools Coalition Australia is a group of grown-ups who want every kid to feel welcome and safe at school, no matter who they are or what they like. They teach us how to be kind to each other and how to stop bullying.
