NSPCC Schools Service Volunteer

Help keep local children safe by volunteering for the NSPCC’s Speak Out. Stay Safe Programme 

Speak Out. Stay Safe is a safeguarding programme for children aged 5 to 11 years old and is available to all primary schools across Cornwall.

It helps children, in an age-appropriate way, to understand: 

•  abuse in all its forms and how to recognise signs of abuse
•  that abuse is never a child’s fault and that they have the right to be safe
•  where to get help and the sources of help available to them, including our Childline service

Through virtual assemblies and face to face workshops, children can learn about the different types of abuse, so they can get help if or when they need it. NSPCC staff and volunteers help them identify a trusted adult they can talk to if they’re ever worried about themselves or a friend. 

With the help of our mascot Buddy, Speak Out. Stay Safe covers topics like bullying, neglect and sexual abuse – without using any scary words or adult language.

Last year, the NSPCC delivered Speak Out. Stay Safe online programmes to 3,823 schools across the UK reaching 894,184 children and now we are looking for volunteers to train for our face-to-face workshops. 

If you are someone with experience of delivering programmes in an educational or safeguarding setting, with strong planning and organisational abilities, good communication and excellent people skills – we would love to hear from you.

We are particularly looking for those with the following qualities and experience:

• Passionate about helping young people and children.
• Great communication skills.
• Empathetic and perceptive.
• Sensitive and supportive.
• Able to think on your feet.
• Works well within a team.
