The Government has given more than a million pounds to the National Children's Bureau and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to teach children to keep themselves safe.
The two organisations will use the £1.6m to establish a Child Safety Education Coalition, which will encourage charities already working on children's safety education to coordinate and expand the provision of activities and resources.
It will focus particularly on children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Fergus Crow, assistant director of wellbeing at NCB, said: "We will be able to involve children in developing practical safety education for themselves."
The Child Safety Education Coalition was first mooted in the government's Staying Safe Action Plan, published in February this year.
