**Would you like to drive forward NSPCC's schools offer?**

In 2021, the NSPCC announced a new 10+ year strategy to make the biggest impact we can to stop child abuse and neglect. Our Local Services teams are an essential part of how NSPCC's three main strategic goals will be delivered:

- Everyone plays their part to prevent child abuse.
- Every child is safe online.
- Children feel safe, listened to and supported.

Local Services brings together our work in schools, local campaigning and our direct services across 9 regions and nations. The North East, Yorkshire and Humber Schools Service team plays an integral part of our mission as it's responsible for delivering the schools offer.
