Safeguarding Week 2025: NSPCC Listen Up, Speak Up

Half a million children suffer abuse and neglect a year in the UK. But there’s something we can all do to change that. We know that, with the right support, every child can be kept safe. We can stop abuse, and even prevent it from happening. But to do this, we need to work together.

Our Listen up Speak up sessions will:

• help you understand how to listen and speak up on behalf of children

• show you who to contact if you’re concerned about a child or need support yourself

• empower you to support children in your community.

Audience:

This session is open to community members, volunteers and professionals across North Yorkshire, York, Hull and East Riding
