NSPCC Speak Out Stay Safe Assemblies held in school each year
What we cover: 5-7 years
Our virtual assembly is 20 minutes long and covers the topics below.
What happens in the assembly
About Buddy
We talk about how Buddy is a speech bubble because we believe children should speak out if they have any worries.
Children’s rights
The assembly explains that all children have the right to speak out and have their views taken seriously, be kept safe and get help when they need it.
Sam’s story
We tell a story about Sam. The story demonstrates the importance of speaking out about any worries a child may have.
Forms of hurt
We explain the different forms of hurt in a simple age-appropriate way so children understand when something is not right.
Speaking out
Children think about safe adults who may be good to talk to, both in school and out of school.

Children learn about Childline, and how they can get in contact if they’re worried or need to talk.

Sack of worries
We talk about the types of worries a child might have. We use bricks to represent worries and put them in the sack. We then use the sack of worries to talk about safe adults a child could talk to. With each example, a brick is removed.
Definitions of abuse
We explain the different types of abuse in a simple, age-appropriate way, so children understand when something is not right.
