This talk offers an engaging look at how the NSPCC’s Speak Out Stay Safe programme supports primary school children across Suffolk. Steve explains how trained volunteers help children understand their right to feel safe, recognise unsafe situations, and know who they can talk to if they’re worried. Drawing on his 12 years experience as an NSPCC School Service volunteer, Steve shares how the workshops work inside schools, the impact they have on children, and why community volunteers are so important to the programme’s success. The session is positive, informative, and accessible — ideal for groups who enjoy talks with purpose and real‑world impact. It also includes information for anyone who may be interested in volunteering themselves, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
