121 Listening

NISCU’s 121 Listening service trains volunteers to listen to young people in a schools context, and then places them in their local school to support the pastoral work.

Can you help your young people by listening?

121 Listening

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”

Winston Churchill

What is it about?

121 Listening is a service that NISCU oversees in providing volunteers to schools for the simple task of listening to pupils in a school context.

We work alongside school pastoral teams to support the ongoing work within the school.

We take local volunteers, and train them to listen using Acorn Listening services model of effective listening, and then apply it specifically to a schools context.
