Body Safety

Body Safety, a prevention and education program was developed by Sgt. Terry Hall, a retired veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. This program teaches elementary school-aged children that their bodies belong to them and that they have the right to say “NO” to a touch to their private parts for “no good reason or just to play a game.”

During the Body Safety presentation, children are taught the proper names and locations of their private body parts utilizing anatomical dolls, when it is okay for private body parts to be touched and who to tell if someone does touch their private parts for “no good reason or just to play a game.”

Body Safety Instructors

Instructors for the Body Safety Program include staff and community volunteers. Each instructor is screened, trained and coordinated by Chaucie's Place staff. All volunteers attend a training seminar, learn to use a script developed specially for the Body Safety Program and shadow experienced instructors until they are ready to present on their own. If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out our volunteer application and send it into Chaucie's Place.
