CAVOS
Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
‘Never Do Nothing’Ⓒ is a campaign that CAVOS is running in conjunction with our VCS Participation Project. The campaign is supported by Easington and Sedgefield Local Children's Boards (Ⓒ 2011 CAVOS)
The Campaign is focussed on encouraging volunteers to be aware of straightforward actions that they can take if they suspect that a child may in danger of harm of if they have any concerns for their welfare.
In the past, we have heard stories about people who failed to act because they weren’t sure of the correct actions to take.
This Campaign highlights the important of never doing nothing because there is always a course of action that can be taken. In good old CAVOS style, the campaign is extremely straightforward and outlines 3 key courses of action in the form of traffic lights Red: Report, Amber: Support and Green: Monitor and a straightforward action is assigned to each ‘traffic light’.
This campaign will hopefully raise awareness among voluntary organisations, community groups and volunteers that there is always a simple course of action that can be taken if there are concerns for a child welfare so....’Never Do Nothing’
