Dot Com Children’s Foundation is a personal, social and health education (PSHE) resource. It is a 'safeguarding tool' to raise awareness and keep pupils safe from the dangers of abuse, sexual exploitation, radicalisation and extremism. It promotes children's rights and fundamental British values.
Kristina Rihanoff, patron of the charity said: “Dance lessons were where I felt safe. I want children growing up now to know that if there are problems at home, there is something that can be done and to encourage them to talk about it.”
