See it, Hear it, Say it, LETS STOP IT! Safeguarding Policy: Child friendly Bullied • Hit • Harassed • Abused Neglected • Emotionally abused Sexually abused • Being forced into doing anything you do not want to do • As a girl you were cut in a private place • Disabled and being abused in any way • Anything else which makes you feel uncomfortable • Been made to feel “Too Special” Sometimes an adult or even another child might try to make you feel really special. That might feel nice at first, but sometimes it is NOT okay. Here are some things to look out for: - You are given gifts, treats or special attention that other children don’t get. - They say things like, “You are my favourite” or “We have a special bond.” - They offer to take you on rides, trips, or give you rewards just for being with them. - They say things like “You are different from everyone else,” or “Only I understand you.” This is a policy for children who feel they are being: Don’t forget, if you feel any of the listed things or anything similar is happening to you, you can get help. You can also tell: A teacher • Your parents • A responsible adult that you trust • Tell the mediator (you can ask to see them privately) NSPCC Helpline - 0808 800 5000 Global Mediation – ask to speak to Irvine Gersch (Safeguarding Officer) – 0800 064 44 88
