Consultations - Chatterbox Evaluation

Key Stage 1 and 2 children in schools across the Borough who were introduced to the ‘Chatterbox’ safeguarding tool in February 2012.

To work with Key Stage 1 and 2 children to measure the impact of the anti-bullying tool ‘Chatterbox’ and to assess how it has contributed to keeping children and young people safe.

Participatory sessions with children involved a mixture of whole group discussion and individual work, looking at the tool and asking the following questions;

• Tell me about these things... What are they and what are they used for?

• Show me in pairs how you use Chatterboxes.

• What did you do when you got yours?.....Have you still got it?

• Did you take it home and show people?....What did they say or do?

• How has the Chatterbox helped you?

• What difference has Chatterbox made? • How will Chatterbox help to keep children safe?

Schools will be contacted directly and invited to take part in the evaluation.

A report of evaluation findings will be sent to the Safeguarding Children Partnership Officer.
