AN INSPIRING young student at Exeter's Deaf Academy has been recognised for his work helping others.
John Stewart has received four awards from the NSPCC for the work he has done to help improve the safety of deaf children.
He has received two awards for outstanding team work, one for his influencing skills and one for being an inspiring role model.
The NSPCC's head of service for the South West, Sharon Copsey, said: "John has been actively involved in helping the NSPCC become more accessible to deaf young people for many years.
"He has encouraged deaf young people in schools and colleges to get involved in giving their opinions to the NSPCC and has raised awareness in the deaf and hearing communities about what the NSPCC does.
"He has helped us develop materials for a personal safety programme for deaf young people.
"The contribution he and his fellow group members have made to our Worried Need to Talk ChildLine booklet has been invaluable, and is one of the reasons it has reached over a quarter of a million young people.
"The issues John has worked on over the last two years have helped shape the NSPCC strategy for the next six years.
"He has been challenging and inspiring to our directors and trustees and the relationship he has built up with trustees shows the strength of his influencing skills."
Ros Way, director of education, said: "He has shown real leadership and made a positive contribution to improving the lives of others."
