As you may be aware, the NSPCC
visited our school yesterday and delivered their Speak out. Stay safe assembly
to share information with your child about how they can keep themselves safe
from harm and get help if they have any worries.
It was a very worthwhile
and empowering session for both pupils and teachers.
They spoke to the children
and staff about the valuable work they do across the country, and talked about
how important it is for everyone in our school community to join them in their
‘fight for every childhood’. However, as a charity, they can only provide these
vital resources thanks to the financial support and generosity of their
supporters.
That’s why we’re raising
money to help the NSPCC’s work in schools
I am delighted to say that
our school has chosen to support the valuable work of the NSPCC this term by
taking part in a fundraising event. We are aware that there have been many
requests for money this year, so would really appreciate any support you can
offer with this event.
How your children can have
fun – and make a massive difference
Children will be doing BUDDY’S
Big Workout – which will not only be exciting for our pupils but will
also mean they’re raising money for the NSPCC’s vital work and helping keep even more children safe.
Participation is purely
voluntary but if you would like to support the NSPCC’s work, it would be
fantastic if you could give your child permission to take part by signing the
sponsor form and returning the sponsored event form along with any money raised
to school by Thursday 5th May
2016. If you have more than one child in school simply put all your
children’s names at the top of one form.
Every child that attended
the assembly yesterday will receive a thank you in the form of a Speak out. Stay safe. Buddy sticker. We
want them to wear it with pride.
Your children can be proud
of the fact that every penny raised makes a significant difference for
children. By supporting the NSPCC we can work together to end child abuse.
Talking about the
Underwear Rule with your children
The NSPCC’s work in
schools will help encourage conversations about staying safe – and they have a
number of child-friendly materials to help you carry on the conversation
afterwards. That includes ‘The Underwear Rule’, a simple way for parents to
help keep children safe from sexual abuse – without using scary words or even
mentioning sex.
The guide uses the rules
of PANTS to teach children that their body belongs to them and them alone. You
can find out more and download the free resources at nspcc.org.uk/pants
