Educating pupils on support networks is important says NSPCC Worcestershire school coordinator
NSPCC Childhood Day take place today
Worcestershire's NSPCC school coordinator says it's important that young people continue to receive education on where to go for support if they need it.
On their UK-wide Childhood Day, the charity say last year they delivered a virtual Speak out Stay safe programme to 65 schools in the county, aimed at giving pupils key information about support available for them.
Kelly Yardley from the team says events like this will help continue to deliver key messages to young students.
She said: "Speak out Stay safe is a safeguarding programme, and was created by the NSPCC to empower and protect children, but also to help them to recognise signs of abuse, and who they can speak to for help.
"It's available to all primary age school pupils, but services like Childline support so many children, and it doesn't have to be a big problem that a child can contact them about.
"There are those everyday worries, and by doing events we can educate children and help them know what to do if they need to get help, and who to speak to, and how to access support."
The NSPCC say Speak out Stay safe also reached over 13,100 children in the region.
