My Body Is My Body
Empowering children through prevention, compassion and confidence.
Deborah J Crozier, Founder of A Positive Start CIC, serves as Head of Scotland for My Body Is My Body (MBIMB).
MBIMB is a free child abuse prevention education programme that uses music, movement, videos and simple language to teach children important personal safety skills.
Its accessible resources support parents, carers, educators and community groups in introducing age-appropriate safeguarding conversations.

Children benefit from opportunities to learn about their rights, personal boundaries and safety through clear, age-appropriate language.
My Body Is My Body introduces essential topics including:
- Understanding and expressing feelings.
- Body ownership and personal boundaries.
- Recognising unsafe situations.
- Understanding unsafe secrets.
- Knowing how and where to ask for help.
Songs and videos make these important messages accessible to children and provide opportunities for conversations with trusted adults.
Children should never carry responsibility for preventing abuse. That responsibility belongs to adults, organisations and safeguarding systems.
Starting Conversations at Home
MBIMB's free educational resources help parents and carers introduce personal safety concepts through music and everyday discussion.
These conversations can develop as children grow and their understanding changes.
Bringing Prevention into Learning
Schools, early years settings and community groups can incorporate MBIMB resources into suitable safeguarding education activities.
APS welcomes enquiries from organisations interested in introducing the programme.
Bringing MBIMB to Your Community
We welcome opportunities to work with schools, family services, educators and community organisations interested in strengthening child body-safety education.
Whether you wish to explore the free resources, discuss community delivery or host an awareness event, please get in touch.
