Use Your Head Cross your heart
In the Bruk Hue ["Use your head"]
anti-bullying campaign, which we
describe on another page in this report,
schoolchildren also receive information
about how they can contact Kors på
halsen if they need to discuss problems
they encounter in the digital world.
Volunteers at Kors på halsen must ...
·
be interviewed and undergo compulsory
training
·
sign and comply with an ethical and duty of
confidentiality declaration
·
be at least 22 years of age
·
provide a police reference
At Kors på halsen we see that
children and young people
have a lower threshold for
raising difficult subjects in
writing than verbally, i.e.
by telephone. Depression,
suicidal thoughts and eating
disorders are problems which
our volunteers deal with
daily by chat and e-mail.
It is important for us in the
Red Cross to adapt what we
offer to the communications
channels which young people
actually prefer.
Our partnership with Telenor
is particularly important here.
In addition to operating funds
and help with marketing
we also hope to make even
greater use of Telenor's
expertise in communications
via various media.
