'Speak Out, Stay Safe'

'Speak Out, Stay Safe is a great resource for young children that is produced by the NSPCC. We regularly discuss 'Speak Out, Stay Safe' with our children .

If you would like to know more about the Speak out Stay safe. programme you can find information on the NSPCC website www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout

Every year we have a special 'Speak Out, Stay Safe' assembly, where the children meet 'Buddy' the mascot. We talked about how Buddy is a speech bubble because we believe children should speak out if they have any worries. The assembly explains that all children have the right to speak out and have their views taken seriously, be kept safe and get help when they need it.

As part of the assembly, children are asked to think about safe adults who may be good to talk to, both in school and out of school. Children also learn about Childline and how they can get in contact if they are worried or need to talk.
