Happy World Book Day! Stories can be a surprisingly effective way of starting discussions with children and young people on some challenging topics. We’ve already put together some books which we think work well with our safeguarding curriculum module for upper Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3.

You can view these in the new 360 Bookshop, in partnership with Bookshop UK – supporting independent bookshops in your high street. When you buy through the 360 bookshop, independent local business benefits, and 360 also takes 10% which we will put into a special fund to support our member schools with reading resources.

We’d also like to give a shout out for library services in the UK. You can find your local library here.

We look forward to reading about all the imaginative ways schools are celebrating World Book Day and the power of stories in particular.
