We are looking for new volunteers to help us protect a generation of children from abuse and neglect. As a Speak out. Stay safe. volunteer, you will visit primary schools to deliver Speak out. Stay safe. workshops that teach children about the different types of abuse and how they can speak out and stay safe.
Our Speak out. Stay safe. workshops are age-appropriate and memorable and need an energetic and enthusiastic person to deliver them, volunteers make sure at the end of each session the children feel empowered and know who they can speak out to if they are worried.
As a Schools Service Volunteer, you'll visit primary schools around twice a month to deliver our age appropriate Speak Out Stay Safe workshops.
Working as part of a friendly volunteer team, you'll help children understand their right to be safe and know who they can talk to if they ever feel worried, upset, or unsafe.
This is a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to children's lives by helping them feel confident, empowered, and supported. All applications are submitted online and training is also online before school visits.
