Supporting the “Children Can Do” programme

“Safety Net have provided very valuable additional help and support to some of the fledgling community groups supported by the Children Can Do programme. Newly established groups have particularly benefited from the intensive support Safety Net have provided around processing of CRB checks and accessing child protection training. Safety Net staff have helped community groups to grasp the basics of what is needed to help keep young people in their care safe… and always in a friendly and welcoming way. Well done to all at Safety Net.”

“The work done by children in this project should inspire everyone, including local politicians, to work for communities where all young people are safe and respected, where they can be whoever they want to be and become whatever they want to be.”

“I am sorry I am unable to visit you personally at the present time however I wanted to write to let you know how impressed I am with the work you are undertaking to combat bullying and help create a safe, enjoyable atmosphere for your fellow pupils. Bullying should not be tolerated under any circumstances, it makes life miserable for the individual on the receiving end and the perpetrator is left with a feeling of authority which is undeserved and unwarranted. By being aware of the problems which bullying causes you can help make your school a safer and happier place for all pupils to attend.”

Simon Kirby, Conservative MP

Praise for our Anti-Bullying Work
