Jeremy Indika | Primary School Children

Using a dynamic gaming analogy, Jeremy takes children through ‘interactive levels’ that build on their existing safety knowledge in a way they genuinely engage with. Using movement, music, and challenges, he guides children through each level, supporting them as they progress, focussing on:

– Understanding safety rules

– Recognising different feelings

– Identifying trusted adults

– Learning when and how to speak up

Jeremy Indika | Secondary School/College Students

Young people are dealing with lots of things, including relationships, identity, and online life, and it can be a lot to navigate. Jeremy provides a conversation, meeting them where they are, in language they understand, without talking down to them. He looks at:

– What abuse and exploitation actually look like

– Online and real world crossover

– Healthy and unhealthy relationships

– Understanding your emotions before you act

– Who the trusted people are in your life

Jeremy Indika | Teacher Training

Jeremy brings what traditional safeguarding cannot: a deeply human insight into what children and young people can feel and think about sexual abuse, which can be very different from what adults expect. He recognises that a strong school environment with confident, informed staff could significantly change the journey of a young person experiencing abuse. Participants will:

– Gain a deeper understanding of what a child or teenager may feel in an abusive situation

– Develop greater empathy and awareness, enabling more sensitive and confident safeguarding responses

– Understand the importance of following formal safeguarding procedures and never becoming complacent

– Recognise the early signs that a child might be at risk or struggling to disclose

Testimonials

My son was one of the year 7 children you spoke to at Chigwell School. After school, he spoke to me about your visit and your story. He was really inspired by you and your courage and bravery. He isn’t aware that his dad was sexually abused as a child as we’ve not told him yet. I just wanted to message you so you know how valued you are. My son said he “clapped hard” for you and he was touched by your story. Educating children about abuse is invaluable and at an early age.
Mother

I certainly found your talk enlightening and a step up from the usual lesson on this topic. Thanks for giving your presentation at our school, you were inspiring to listen to!
Student

We were lucky enough to have Jeremy deliver a day of impactful talks at our school. After working carefully to tailor his talks to our specific Year 5 and 6 cohorts and aligning with our Personal Development curriculum, Jeremy engaged our children in meaningful discussions about staying safe and understanding what is not okay. His sessions with staff were invaluable, reminding us of why we have a duty to foster a culture of safety throughout the school especially today with the increase of social media. Jeremy provided us with parent letters, video footage and follow up tasks which has made the sessions more meaningful. Jeremy’s manner, personal experience and passion as well as his expert knowledge has left a lasting impression on our school community, and we are grateful for his contribution. We will be inviting Jeremy in again and look forward to working with him in the future.
Deputy Headteacher & DSL | Primary School, Knockhall, Dartford

We are incredibly proud to have welcomed Jeremy Indika to The Ongar Academy, where he shared his powerful and deeply personal story as a child victim of sexual abuse. Jeremy spoke candidly about the true reality of the grooming process and the impact of the abuse, delivering an eye-opening and essential message to our students.
Head of Safeguarding | Secondary School, The Ongar Academy, Ongar

Outstanding training event, so powerful and thought provoking. To hear from a victim of child sexual abuse, their own story, really made me sit up and think about the work we do. One of the best training events I have attended. This should be rolled out to all CS’s staff, school staff, young club settings, and to young people themselves.
Headteacher | Primary School, Merthyr County Council

We invited Jeremy to speak to our DSLs across the Dukes Education Group as part of our annual DSL development day. We wanted to engage with someone who would take us out of our comfort zone and generate conversations. Jeremy uses his life story to illustrate the impact of the crime of child sexual abuse, allowing us to explore some really difficult topics in a safe and supported environment. Jeremy’s style of delivery was engaging, thoughtful and facilitated open and meaningful discussions. I would recommend that every school’s DSL has an opportunity to listen to Jeremy’s presentation. I have been involved in education for over 34 years and safeguarding in education for the last 20 years and I believe this was one of the most interesting and impactful talks on safeguarding I have every listened to, but more importantly, the DSLs involved in that day are still talking about the session and I am sure we will have 40 DSLs look at how they safeguard children in schools in a more informed way.
Paul Ludlow | Safeguarding Compliance Director, Duke’s Education Trust

Jeremy captivated 1,250 students with his powerful message, leaving many students on their feet at the end of his talk and wishing to say thank you for his presence that day and for coming to speak to them. Jeremy left staff with tears in their eyes as he retold his story, in such a dignified manner showing resilience, power, yet truthfulness and sensitivity. It can be tricky as a school leader to allow someone to speak to your students on a topic so sensitive for fear of parental complaint/ fear of the wrong words being said to the students/ fear of not knowing how students will react- but please don’t be fearful. Jeremy’s talks are one that every student up and down the country needs to hear. We don’t shy away from speaking to students about drugs/ vaping/ e-safety/ FGM/ bullying- we as educators owe it to our students to teach them about grooming and having a voice. I fully recommend this workshop, and I am so glad that now every student at the school I work in from Year 7 to Year 13, is aware of Jeremy’s story and message now also.
Duvessa Owens | Deputy Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Wallington County Grammar School, London

Jeremy recently visited two of our foster parent forums for Foster Care Associates Cymru. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Jeremy for his remarkable contributions to this event. Jeremy’s unwavering courage in sharing his own experience of childhood sexual abuse has left an indelible mark on all who attended. His ability to inspire and educate with such honesty and bravery is truly commendable. Following his talks, both the school and local authority echoed our sentiments, recognising the profound impact of his message. Our foster parents, moved to tears by Jeremy’s story, have been profoundly touched and continue to reflect on his words. We wholeheartedly endorse Jeremy’s work and encourage all who have not yet had the privilege to listen to him in person to do so. His messages will undoubtedly stay with us, and we pledge our ongoing support for his important advocacy efforts in any way we can.
April Newman | Registered Manager at Foster Care Associates, Foster Care Associates, Wales

The presentation is powerful because in all our safeguarding training, we talk hypothetically about scenarios, but most staff have never actually talked face-to-face with someone who has been a victim, and are able to be so open and honest about what happened to them. Knowing we may not see any signs has inspired those of us who work with children to re-examine how we communicate this subject to both children and parents.
