Speak out Stay safe, which the NSPCC has been running in primary schools across the UK since 2011, helps children understand abuse in all its forms…
A recent NSPCC survey revealed that one reason people did not act on concerns about children being at risk was that they did not know who to tell or how to tell them.A MOTHER whose son was sexually abused by a family friend has praised an NSPCC programme that helped him talk about the abuse.
Caroline* said: “When my son was younger, his behaviour suddenly began to deteriorate. He became aggressive and had really low self-esteem and we couldn’t understand what was wrong. The programme, which was delivered to more than 1.2 million children across 5,332 schools last year, uses age-appropriate language, simple exercises and videos. It includes a virtual assembly, lesson plans and face-to-face workshops delivered by NSPCC volunteers.
The programme is available in English and Welsh and there are versions that incorporate British Sign Language and for children with additional needs and disabilities.The NSPCC is calling on small and medium-sized businesses to support children across the UK. Nathan Shrubb, NSPCC Partners in Business manager, said: “Our work across the UK relies on donations, so partnerships with businesses like this are vital for helping to ensure we can continue to be there for children.
Gail Sayles, NSPCC Local Campaigns Manager, said: “We are delivering workshops to all kinds of groups, businesses and organisations.
