Visit from the NSPCC Attendance
The day that the NSPCC came they talked
about their project called ‘Speak out and stay
safe’. This is where they come around to
schools and talk about staying safe, types of
abuse and how to recognise if you’re being
abused but most of all if you’re worried who
you can speak to (eg parents, teachers). Also,
they spoke about this company called Child
Line, who are there to help children who are
being either abused or are carrying around a
lot of worries which are making them worse at
school, getting them to bed late. They also
taught us the number for Child Line which is
0800 1111. I think that more people are more
