My Body Belongs to Me

This social story helps young people understand that their body belongs to them and that it’s not okay for other people to touch their body without permission.

The story uses simple, reassuring language to explain the idea of personal boundaries, private body parts, and the importance of saying “no” or telling a trusted adult if someone makes them feel uncomfortable. It also reminds us that we should always ask for consent before touching someone else.

This resource is designed to promote safety, confidence, and understanding about personal space and respect — helping young people to recognise that everyone has the right to feel safe in their own body.
