Want to be a part of something special? Do you believe that children should be safe and happy? You could join our amazing team of volunteers who strive to ensure children's voices are heard.

We are currently recruiting in the Borders. Half a million UK children experience abuse every year, that's 7 children in every classroom before they turn 18. Together we can change this. As one of our highly valued Speak out. Stay safe volunteers, you will play a vital role in protecting a generation of children, by helping them understand abuse and giving them the confidence to speak out if they need help. Last year in Scotland alone we spoke to more than 60 thousand children to share our vital safeguarding messages. With your help we can do more.

As a Speak out. Stay safe volunteer you will have the opportunity to:
• make a huge difference to children in Scotland;
• learn and develop valuable skills;
• be part of a friendly team of like-minded people.
The role
Alongside other volunteers you will visit primary schools twice a month to deliver classroom based Speak out. Stay safe workshops for children aged 5-7 and 7-11 years.
You will take pride in empowering children to speak out and stay safe. There will be training throughout your volunteer journey, and our team will be here to support you.
