Helping Hands is a whole school preventative and intervention programme. It provides schools with the means to create a safe environment for all children by analyzing the class culture and putting strategies in place to foster and strengthen friendships and working relations in the classroom.

This programme is linked to our Child Protection, Anti-Bullying and SPHE policies.
Children engaging in this programme learn skills of managing self, cooperation, acceptance, and inclusion of others. Children work in teams to strengthen their cooperation skills and to help create positive relations with each other.
