Kidscheck, devised by the NSPCC in consultation with groups of children, is a series of short questionnaires designed for children to answer and say what makes them feel safe. The free publication is designed to be used as a group activity to show what measures they would like put in place in their club - for example, knowing who to speak to if they are worried, the care and behaviour of staff members, or concerns about the building.
A second publication, Safetycheck (5 including p&p), sets child safety standards for organisations to help create a safe environment. It aims to help staff establish a benchmark against which activities and practice can be measured, evaluated and reviewed.
