On Monday we had a visit from three trained volunteers, with the charity NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. They were Margaret, Shirley and Alice. They came to deliver the Speak out Stay Safe Programme to our children.
Here is what the programme covers -
‘Our specially trained staff and volunteers hold interactive assemblies and workshops. With the help of our mascot, Buddy, we cover topics like bullying and abuse, but without using any scary words or adult language.. Pupils learn about the different types of abuse, in a child-friendly and age appropriate way, so they can get help if or when they need it. We help them identify a trusted adult they can talk to if they're ever worried about themselves or a friend. They learn about Childline, and how it can support them'.
P6 and P7 had a workshop entitled ‘Magnificent Me’ where they identified things that make them feel happy and safe.
There will be a collection for the work of NSPCC at our Harvest Assembly in October.
