Speak Out. Stay Safe Volunteer
NSPCC
As a Speak out. Stay safe volunteer you’ll help to deliver age-appropriate and memorable workshops to primary school children. You will empower children to know who they can speak out to if they are worried. In some session’s children may speak up and disclose abuse, so you will also be required to sensitively handle this and report any concerns you have about the child. But don’t worry you’ll get plenty of support and training on this.
Our Speak out. Stay safe. workshops are age-appropriate and memorable and need an energetic and enthusiastic person to deliver them. You’ll work alongside other Speak out. Stay safe. volunteers to make sure at the end of each session the children feel empowered and know who they can speak out to if they are worried. In some session’s children may speak up and disclose abuse, so you will also be required to sensitively handle this and report any concerns you have about the child. But don’t worry you’ll get plenty of support and training on this.
