Accessing the DDC Trust Resources

The Dog, Duck and Cat (DDC) Trust have worked with schools for over 10 years and have a vast range of age-appropriate resources for teachers and other professionals to use with children and young people. These cover themes across safeguarding topics with an emphasis on the promotion of practical skill development, self-efficacy and positive emotional wellbeing.

All resources are mapped to the RSHE and Ofsted frameworks as you will discover in our lesson plans.

For schools, our session plans are mapped to demonstrate coverage of statutory RSHE requirements and contributions to the Ofsted framework. Further information on this can be found within the delivery guidance document on this page.

For any individual school or setting that would like to access to all of the Trust’s resources it's very simple:

  • We ask for a minimum £200 donation, which we then use to fund the development of new resources
  • Sign up to our terms and conditions, which you can read through via the button below
  • This donation gives your setting access to ALL resources for 12 months; this also includes any new resources developed in that time as well

If you have any further questions, if you are struggling to fund a donation or would like to get involved in supporting the Trust in some way, please email us at:info@dogduckandcat.co.uk

We look forward to working with you.

Fundraising

To start your Dog, Duck and Cat (DDC) programme of delivery we would suggest you carry out your community charitable event. This gives the programme a natural start point, creates excitement and momentum, and is a way to advertise what you will be doing to Parents, Carers and Guardians, and get them engaged at the earliest possible opportunity.

Here are some ideas, that have been used successfully before, for your community charitable event:

  • Themed games for adults and children using DDC characters – further information available on request
  • Hold a No uniform day
  • Link to fire, police, ambulance etc - invite guests to your event who can help you educate on safety
  • Call the event a Safety Day and invite Parents, Carers and Guardians in. This could be a perfect opportunity to distribute printed resources, available where possible on request, for use in the home
  • Hold a car boot sale
  • Make masks, costumes and have a dressing up day. Prizes for best dressed could be offered
  • Sell baked goods and food. This could be made by people or donated by local businesses/businesses that Parents, Carers and Guardians own or work in
  • Hold a raffle with donated prizes
  • Hold a sponsored walk - costumes and themes have proven to be popular to combine with a sponsored walk
  • Run a Bring and buy sale
  • Run a read-a thon (sponsored reading) - Children are sponsored per page or book completed in a 2 week period!
  • Hold a Teddy bear’s picnic
  • Hold a ‘Welly walk’
  • Run a toy sale – donations of unwanted (good condition) toys
  • Hold a sponsored silence day - 1hr of silence
  • Book sale - children bring in books they no longer need…

Combinations of the above have been used successfully to fund raise for The DDC Trust. For more information, or to share any ideas for fundraising you may have, please contact us: info@dogduckandcat.co.uk
