What we do

Adferiad’s Don’t Touch Tell programme is funded by the North Wales Area Planning Board. We deliver preventative information to all primary schools across North Wales and will shortly be including Powys schools too. Schools receive these shows every three years, ensuring every primary-aged child in North Wales has access to both shows. We deliver professional shows which incorporate performance with very important keep safe messages. This enables young children to make informed choices about keeping themselves safe without the session being scary or worrying. As professional performers, the team are able to deliver the same show effectively to different age groups, setting the show at each level.

Who do we support

The service delivers two messages, Don’t Touch Tell to younger pupils and Don’t Drink Think to the older pupils. The messages also include county lines and vaping. All the shows are set to the Welsh curriculum with resources covering the six areas of learning. Schools can choose to have shows in Welsh, English or bilingually. All the performers are professionals and include magicians, ventriloquists, and storytellers.

This service is for people aged between 4 years and 11 years.
