‘I’ve delivered Clever Never Goes to a number of my Ju Jutsu classes with fantastic results. The students (aged between 5 to 8 years) found it easy to understand and implement the Clever Never Goes message. The active nature of the lesson plan re-enforced the learning at all levels. For any serious martial artist, Clever Never Goes is an essential addition to your syllabus, whatever style of martial arts that you teach.’

Whilst child abduction is relatively uncommon, it’s important that children can recognise the potential signs of danger. Teaching children simply to avoid strangers doesn’t work. Most strangers will help rather than harm children. Conversely, it is often people known to children that pose the greatest threat.
Clever Never Goes moves the focus away from strangers and instead teaches children to recognise when someone (anyone) is asking them to go with them. We call this ‘Go Spotting’. In doing so, the programme aims to give children practical safety skills which they can use as they get older and become more independent.
It’s about safety – but it’s also about building children’s abilities to engage with the outside world, and giving parents the confidence to let them.
To ensure that children get the right advice to keep themselves safe – we’re here to help you switch to Clever Never Goes.

We have a range of Clever Never Goes extras to enhance your delivery and to keep the message alive after your session has ended:
