You Are Special, You Are Safe.
OUR YASS PROGRAMME HAS BEEN SUPPORTING CHILDREN FOR 7 YEARS ON EXPLOITATION ISSUES.

YASS means You Are Special, You Are Safe. It clearly coaching young people on how to stay safe and keep their peers safe. It coaches young people on how to spot the signs of abuse and how to keep safe online. The young person will leave confident and will be more assertive at the end of the programme.
