“We are equipping children with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves and Clever Never Goes is a crucial part of that process.”

Chief Superintendent Richard Tucker, Metropolitan Police Service.

 

“Keeping children safe is a top priority for Hampshire Constabulary and it’s tremendous that parents and teachers now have access to the new Clever Never Goes programme.”

Hampshire Constabulary Chief Constable Olivia Pinkney

In June 2021, the Metropolitan Police Service officially launched a London-wide Clever Never Goes rollout. Metropolitan Police Service Schools Officers are now able to deliver Clever Never Goes in primary schools across the capital.

The launch follows an extensive pilot of police delivery of Clever Never Goes in 37 schools with universal support for force-wide rollout of the programme.

Our research shows that too many police forces are still using ‘stranger danger’ online or in the classroom. This is, quite simply, a failure to safeguard children effectively.

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. In doing so, the programme aims to give children practical safety skills which they can use as they get older and become more independent.
