SLYP is a place where you can learn new skills, increase self-esteem and develop resilience.
Be empowered with the knowledge of how to stay safe and find the confidence to deal with difficult situations that affect young people.
SLYP is a safe place for you to share your experiences, get advice and support and find out about awesome events happening near you.
At Safeline we know that our services can make a difference and we have over 20 years’ experience of working with young people who have suffered abuse so that they can heal from their experiences.
Last year we worked with hundreds of students in schools, youth clubs and other settings on creative projects that would help them to gain new skills and build confidence as well as learning how to stay safe. We train teachers, youth leaders and other professionals in child protection and safeguarding and enable them to understand and work with children and young people.
SLYP gives young people a platform to support each other by sharing their experiences and ideas through blogs. Young people helping each other promotes a sense of community and support at SLYP.
Young people using SLYP can get advice and support through our helpline staff and also find out about projects and courses.

Safeline has helped me through the week working up to a performance at the end, it has helped improve my confidence and social skills. it has also helped me improve on my singing as a vocal coach came in to help all of us with the songs for our play!
This course, similarly to other safeline courses I’ve attended, has helped boost my confidence massively. I feel as though I am able to express myself at safeline especially when we are doing things I am passionate about, such as singing, drama and art etc. Becca, Emma and Colin have always made us feel very welcome…
