Speak out Stay safe overview
Episode 6, May 13, 2019, 08:24 AM
Every child should have the knowledge they need to stay safe from harm and to speak out if they’re worried. That’s why the NSPCC’s Speak out Stay Safe service aims to visit every primary school in the UK to help keep children safe from abuse.
Speak out Stay safe is our free safeguarding service that we’ve been running in primary schools since 2011.
