The NSPCC has just launched its Listen Up, Speak Up campaign across the UK aimed at empowering everyone to know what to do if they are ever worried about a child or family. They are offering organisations and groups a free one-hour training workshop which can be delivered face-to-face or online.

It’s up to all of us to help keep children safe, so Listen Up, Speak Up is for people who may not work with children or families in a formal capacity, but might encounter them regularly – either through their work or personal lives, following the ethos of ‘it takes a village to raise a child’. Listen Up, Speak Up will show you:

some signs a child might be at risk, and steps you can take to help
how to approach difficult conversations to help keep children safe
who you can contact if you’re ever concerned about a child or their family.

This training is aimed to helping boost adult’s confidence and knowledge on how to keep children safe, and what to do if they have a concern – it would be suitable for staff, volunteers and adults from the community!
