About The Being Safe Book
The Being Safe Book: sponsored children's safety books for British schools
The Being Safe Book is a publishing programme aimed at schools in the United Kingdom. Its product is a printed safety guide designed for children aged 9 to 15, with school-appropriate content and a focus on protection and child safeguarding. The book is provided free to schools because the cost of printing and delivery is covered by sponsor companies.
The programme presents itself as a local impact initiative: each sponsor funds the print run and distribution to a specific school, and their company details appear only on the back cover of the book. The main content remains focused on the pupils.
Topics covered by the guide
The material covers safety and personal development topics suitable for the target age group. Subjects include online safety, road safety, stranger awareness, anti-bullying and personal confidence and wellbeing. The approach is described as practical and appropriate for the school environment.
How sponsorship works
The sponsorship process is set out in six steps. First, the programme team takes the order by phone or online and confirms the sponsorship package. The sponsor then chooses the local school that will receive the copies, or the programme suggests options in their area. The books are then printed with the sponsor company's details on the back cover.
Distribution is handled by Royal Mail, which collects and delivers the books directly to the school with tracking. Once at the school, the books can be used in lessons or assemblies, or sent home with pupils. The programme notes that schools may contact sponsors to thank them for supporting children's safety and learning.
Sponsorship format and company visibility
Sponsor details are printed on the back cover only, following a sample layout that can be agreed during artwork sign-off. For large sponsorship programmes, the programme states that it can produce consistent layouts and ensure the details are clear and legible.
