This week, children in Years 1 – 6 have taken part in the NSPCC Speak Out, Stay Safe assembly and activities. They were introduced to Buddy, who is a speech bubble representing the right that all children have to speak out and stay safe.

At an age appropriate level, children were reminded:

• of the types of abuse
• that abuse is never a child’s fault
• that they have the right to get help if they need it
• who to talk to if they need help and their Special 5 (trusted adults)
• of the Childline number (0800 1111) and how to access support

Here are some examples of the children’s thoughtful work following the sessions.
