Protective Behaviours | Connections by Hone
Every person deserves to feel safe, understand their rights and have the confidence to speak up.
People with intellectual disability and autism can experience increased vulnerabilities when it comes to personal safety, relationships, boundaries and recognising situations that may place them at risk.
This is why education, understanding and accessible support are so important.
At Connections by Hone, we believe safeguarding starts with empowerment.
Through our Becoming Protected program, we support participants to build knowledge and confidence around:
👉🏼 Understanding personal rights and body autonomy.
👉🏼 Recognising safe and unsafe situations.
👉🏼 Understanding boundaries and consent.
👉🏼 Identifying trusted people and support networks.
👉🏼 Developing self-advocacy skills and the confidence to speak up.
Our protective behaviours education is about more than identifying risks. It's about building knowledge, strengthening confidence and supporting people to have greater choice and control in their relationships and everyday lives.
We are committed to creating safe, inclusive and supportive learning environments where participants can ask questions, explore important topics and develop skills that support their wellbeing.
Because safeguarding isn't just about protecting people from harm. It's about equipping people with the knowledge, voice and confidence to participate safely, build meaningful relationships and live an empowered life.
