Safe Schools: Ideas Book for Students
Making our schools safe will require everyone's help. Students themselves have an important role to play, and that's why the Safe School Task Force has produced this ideas booklet. It shows students how they can become involved and encourages them to be creative as we work together to make our schools safe. Parents and teachers of younger students may want to look through the booklet with them and discuss both the problems and possible solutions.

Kids Activity Survival Kit
You may have to leave your house during a disaster and may sleep somewhere else for a while. It’s smart to put together your own Kid’s Activity Survival Kit so you will have things to do and share with other kids.

How children get ahead in life
The labour market prospects of children, that is, how much income they end up making as adults, are only loosely tied to the incomes of the families they were raised in. Much more than money matters in determining how children get ahead.
