School evaluation in Norway 

The feedback Save the Children has received from children, parents and teachers on this teaching material has been overwhelmingly positive. The kids´ message is clear: they are happy to have learnt what sexual abuse is, and what they can do if they experience abuse. 

Teachers especially value that the films are easy to understand, that they create a sense of safety for the children, and that the series serve as a valuable platform for good conversations in the classroom.
