Dear Parent/Carer

NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. Programme

I am pleased to inform you that we are participating in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. Programme this term.
Speak out. Stay safe. is a programme for children aged 5-11 which aims to help children understand abuse in all
its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a safe
adult or Childline.

This child friendly programme is aligned with the curriculum and consists of age appropriate virtual assemblies
and supporting classroom based activities which we have reviewed, alongside NSPCC volunteer led face to face
workshops for children aged 6-7 and 9-11. The content is delivered in an engaging and interactive way with the
help of the NSPCC mascot Buddy. If you would like to know more about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme
visit www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout.

Feedback survey for pupils aged 7-11

The NSPCC would like to gather feedback from pupils aged between 7-11 about the Speak out. Stay safe.
programme to gauge their learning. This will be voluntary and children can still take part in the programme if
they don’t take part in the survey.

 All survey questions are multiple choice and focussed on the programme.
 The survey is anonymous and confidential. However, if in the process of completing the survey, a
teacher becomes concerned for a pupil’s welfare (e.g., through something a pupil says) we will follow
our school’s safeguarding procedures.
 If you do not want your child to take part in the survey, please contact the school office.
 If you have agreed that your child can take part in the survey but your child changes their mind on the
day, that is also okay.
