Speak out Stay safe: Activities at home
1 in 5 children in the UK have suffered abuse - to teach children what’s OK and not OK - we deliver Speak out Stay safe in primary schools across the UK.
Help them remember the message at home
Try our fun activities at home to help your kids understand they have the right to be safe and that they can talk to you about anything.
Why learning to speak out is important
1 in 3 children sexually abused by an adult did not tell anyone what had happened to them.
On average, a child contacts Childline every 25 seconds. We're here when no one else is listening.
