NSPCC’s Speak Out. Stay Safe. Programme

We are pleased to inform you that we are participating in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe.
Programme this term. Speak out. Stay safe. is a programme for children aged 5-11 which
aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse.
Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a safe adult or Childline.

This child-friendly programme is aligned with the curriculum and consists of age-appropriate virtual assemblies and supporting classroom-based activities which we have reviewed. The
content is delivered in an engaging and interactive way with the help of the NSPCC mascot
Buddy. We will be delivering this programme this half term.

Parents and carers are asked to let the school know if their child may have experienced
anything (in the past or happening now) which may mean they need extra support before,
during or after taking part in this programme.
