Member Feature: NSPCC Wants to Help Everyone Play Their Part to Prevent Child Abuse in Shropshire
For over 130 years, the NSPCC have had the vision that together we can stop child abuse and neglect. Their new strategy launched in 2021 has 3 areas of focus aimed at making the most progress towards this on-going vision:
- Everyone plays their part to prevent child abuse
- Every child is safe online
- Children feel safe, listened to and supported
As part of this vision and strategy, Kate Warner, Schools Coordinator for the NSPCC Schools Service in Shropshire, is continuing to work in partnership with the Shropshire Education and Inclusion Team to deliver the Speak Out, Stay Safe Programme for children aged 5-11 years old. Kate says that every primary school in the county has participated in this on-going safeguarding programme which schools are encouraged to use at least every 3 years, and in addition, the NPSCC are about to embark on a new secondary school safeguarding initiative.
But safeguarding children needs to be a much broader than in schools, Kate says: “we all have a part to play in safeguarding” and she is keen to encourage more voluntary and community organisations, as well as public sector organisations to take up the call for “everyone to play their part” in the effort to prevent child abuse in Shropshire.
While many VCSE organisations may be aware of the NSPCC’s Childline, a website and hotline for under 19s, they may be less aware that the NPSCC also hosts a Childline website and hotline aimed at under 12s, as well as a dedicated app – For Me – designed by young people for young people and a Report Remove tool that allows young people to report an image or video online to see if it’s possible to get it taken down.
The NSPCC Helpline is staffed by trained professionals who can provide expert advice and support. If you’re concerned about a child, if you’re a parent or carer looking for advice, or if you’re a professional in need of information and guidance – call 0808 800 5000.
Kate has also helpfully organised all of the NSPCC's resources into one list for organisations and parents to keep track of:
Perhaps most importantly for the VCSE sector, the NPSCC has incredibly detailed resources for organisations, including an entire portion of their website dedicated to materials and training for voluntary and community groups.
Kate says:
“If we could get our local community and voluntary groups helping to spread the message with children, carers and parents about our helplines and other resources and about our preventative ‘Speak out. Stay safe’ programme (there’s also a version children can watch at home -Speak out. Stay safe assembly at home), we could have such a huge impact in Shropshire.”
If you have any questions, please email Kate Warner.
New Rural Services Network Report:
Rural Households in 'Cost of Living Emergency'
A new report by Rural Services Network shows rural areas face ‘dual energy vulnerability’ of higher household and transport energy poverty, and lower wages.
The research found that homes in rural areas tend to be less energy efficient with 60 percent of rural homes having an EPC of D or below.
Rural households on average spend 50 percent more per week than urban areas on transport due to inadequate infrastructure.
The Rural Services Network, which represents rural councils and other rural service providers, examined the key differences in cost-of-living between rural and urban locations. It found that rural residents working in rural economies earn much less than urban residents, yet still face significantly higher costs across key aspects of living including heating, transport, house prices, rent, food prices, child-care costs and council tax.

The story was recently picked up by BBC news, and you can read their coverage of the report here.

New CEO for ‘Next Chapter’ at Community Resource
Shrewsbury-based charity Community Resource, which supports people and communities facing challenges across the county, has welcomed its new CEO.
Bev Baxter has succeeded Julia Baron, who retired as Chief Executive at the end of August after 23 years at the helm.
Bev was previously Head of Operations and Deputy CEO of The Way in Wolverhampton and took up the position at Community Resource on Monday 5 September.
She brings extensive experience of the charity sector, overseeing the delivery of services to young people during her time at The Way, Wolverhampton Youth Zone.
Prior to that she worked for the Airplay Youth Support project, working for Action for Children in partnership with the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, which supported young people and families located at RAF bases across the UK.
Bev said:
“I am truly inspired to have the opportunity to lead this amazing organisation and a team with great talent and deep passion for what they do.
I have the utmost respect for the history and tradition of Community Resource, and I am committed to building on past successes.
I am also excited to bring my own vision and ideas to the table, and to continue to grow the charity in the years to come.”
Hugh Strickland, Chair of Community Resource, said:
“We are thrilled to welcome Bev and believe she will continue the amazing work that Julia delivered in her 23 years as CEO.
Bev brings experience, energy and passion to the role and is the ideal person to lead the organisation through its next chapter, building on our work helping organisations and strengthening local communities across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.”
Community Resource was established in 1961 to bring people in communities together and find practical solutions to rural problems.
Its current work includes supporting people to stay active and maintain their independence, working with voluntary groups to help meet the need in local areas and providing grants to organisations and individuals in need.
Its annual fundraising campaign, the Warmer Winter Appeal, helps local people facing fuel poverty and was launched last month.

Post Office Card Accounts Ending in November
The Post Office's contract with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to provide the Post Office card account is set to end in November 2022.
Anyone who is still using a PO card account will need to arrange for their payment of pensions or benefits to be moved to a bank, building society or credit union account.
If someone is unable or unwilling to open an account for their benefits, they will be transferred onto the Payment Exception Service - this will happen automatically, the DWP does not need the claimant's permission to pay them in this way.
Before closing down a Post Office card account, the claimant should ensure that their benefits or State Pension is being paid into their new account, and that they have withdrawn any balance remaining on their account.
The DWP is encouraging organisations to direct their beneficiaries to the Money Helper website to find out more information and explore their options.
