Early Intervention Safeguarding Solutions for Schools
Recognised by BBC RADIO kent for excellence
Programmes Licensed to The Life Matters Charity – www.thelifematters.co.uk
OUR MISSION IS TO GIVE EVERY CHILD A VOICE
We use the a Child’s Voice Model as a robust tool
Our model has been Co-designed with children and informed by schools, social workers, and mental health professionals, the A Child’s Voice Model provides structured, evidence-based support that helps children express themselves, build confidence, and thrive in safe, supportive environments. The programme has robust safety planning to ensure children have access to support.
Why Early Intervention Matters
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among young people in the UK. Tragically, up to 200 children die by suicide each year, highlighting the urgent need for early intervention, accessible support, and effective prevention strategies. The A Child’s Voice Model is designed to identify risk early, strengthen protective factors, and provide children with a safe space to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences before difficulties escalate into crisis.
Key Benefits
- Amplifies children’s voices – fostering understanding, respect, and self-expression.
- Builds confidence and creativity – helping children articulate thoughts, emotions, and ideas.
- Guides professionals – offering practical, structured tools for educators, social workers, and mentors.
- Evidence-based – translating clinical research into everyday social work and educational practice.
- Safeguarding-focused – prioritising children’s safety and wellbeing at every stage.
- Empowers learning environments – creating safe spaces where young people are genuinely heard and valued.
Our Vision
To reduce self-harm and suicide risk among children aged 8 and above by providing early, accessible, evidence-based support.

The Impact in Schools
Already implimented in schools.
Schools report that the programme has a significant impact: children begin to thrive, many reduce or stop self-harming, and staff feel better equipped to provide structured, effective safeguarding support. All schools continue to follow their safeguarding policies.
Testimonials from Young People (Ages 12–17)

Age 12
“Before the programme, I didn’t really understand my feelings. Over the weeks, I learned ways to notice my emotions and cope with them safely. I feel calmer and more in control now.”
Age 17
“I was struggling before I started. The programme helped me understand my emotions and gave me tools to stay safe. I feel more confident and positive about the future.”
Age 14
“This programme helped me see that I’m not alone. I discovered ways to deal with hard moments without hurting myself. I’m handling challenges differently now.”
