'Talk to Me' was a free, immersive simulation designed to help adults build their confidence in having conversations with children about difficult topics, like abuse, and ensure children always feel listened to.
The simulated scenarios were based in a school setting, with the user taking the role of a teacher. Users interacted with fictional child characters and learnt how to respond to the child, ask the right question at the right time, to build the child's trust and help them talk about their experiences.
Attensi, specialists in gamified simulation, created the 'Talk to Me' pilot in collaboration with safeguarding experts at NSPCC. It was available from December 2020 to December 2021.
