Recently a number of classes at Westfield have participated in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. online programme which consists of an online assembly and supporting classroom-based activities. Speak out. Stay safe. is a safeguarding programme available to all schools. It aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse in a child friendly way. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a trusted adult or Childline.

Above is a picture of the wonderful work that Chesil have produced whilst participating in the Speak out, Stay safe programme – absolutely fantastic! 

In the online assembly, the messages are delivered in a fun and interactive way with the help of their mascot Buddy, as well as special guest appearances from Ant and Dec.

If you would like to know more about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme you can find information on the NSPCC website www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout or Mr Cameron can discuss any questions that you may have.

The NSPCC has also developed an adapted version of their assembly for parents/carers to use at home with their children. This can be found here: www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/safety. With the help of celebrities, the film focuses on how a child can get support if they have any worries or concerns.
