In 2022 the NSPCC's Speak out. Stay safe volunteers will be returning to primary schools. We are looking for new volunteers to help us protect a generation of children from abuse and neglect. As a Speak out. Stay safe. volunteer, you will visit primary schools to deliver Speak out. Stay safe. workshops that teach children about the different types of abuse and how they can speak out and stay safe.
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.
Volunteering takes place during weekdays within school hours.
We are looking for new volunteers from all over the North, Co. Durham and surrounding area's, to be Speak out. Stay Safe Volunteers. You would visit primary schools local to you to help us protect a generation of children from abuse and neglect.
Volunteers present workshops for year 5 & 6 children; these are for one hour and are delivered in the classroom. The workshop is delivered by a power point presentation, with some group work, written work and revisiting the virtual assemblies that the school will have delivered to the children before the workshops.
