Today Lesley and Rhona from NSPCC came to speak to us all about Childline and the Speak Out – Stay Safe campaign as part of our Health and Well-being curriculum.
P1-4 listened to and chatted about the importance of sharing their worries with a trusted person and met Buddy the Childline mascot who is there to remind us all that it is good to talk. Don’t keep those worries to yourself.
P5-7 then watched an animated video clip which was designed to get the pupils thinking about…
- Lightening their Sack of Worries by talking about their worries and problems.
- being aware of and understanding what’s right and what’s not.
- the 5 types of abuse: neglect, physical, sexual, emotional and bullying.
- Abuse is NEVER okay and is NOT the child’s fault.
- Speak to someone you can trust. Childline is ALWAYS there – no problem is too big/small.
- Keep speaking out until something changes.
The pupils learnt a way of remembering the Childline number 0800 11 11 and were encouraged to chat about what they had heard and watched.
Remember:
Speak Out – Stay Safe!
