After-SchoolCheck-In
A free prompt card to help you keep the door open after school.
Children don't always tell us the big things first. Sometimes they test safety with small truths.
This one-page card gives you eight questions to choose from. A way to check in without pressure, an interrogation or a list of questions to get through.
Keep it on your phone, print it for the car, or tuck it behind the sun visor for those moments after school.
You'll also receive occasional emails from UN/SPOKEN with practical tools and reflections. Unsubscribe anytime.
One quick step: check your inbox and confirm your email to open the printable PDF.
Simple by design.
A single card. Eight prompts. Something useful to keep within reach.

Keep it where you'll need it.
Save it to your phone for the moments you don't have the words ready. Or print it and put it somewhere easy to reach.

It's not about the perfect conversation. It's about keeping the door open.
The small things count.
Children don't always share something difficult in one clear conversation. Sometimes they offer a little, see how it's received and come back another day. How we respond in those ordinary moments can influence whether they feel able to speak again.
A few questions won't guarantee disclosure or safety. They can make more room for conversation.
