Everything we do is to prevent and eliminate child sexual abuse.
We believe in challenging the status quo and doing things differently. Technology has allowed the growth of child sexual abuse and exploitation so we need to redesign our response harnessing technological, digital and social platforms to fight this epidemic.
Resources – We believe that 95% of abuse is preventable through education and awareness.
We have brought together a collective of abuse education resources empowering adults through increased awareness, and the ability to start conversations. We have made it simple to share the resources with your friends, families, business network, social platforms, as far and wide as possible, as evidence shows a direct correlation between awareness and preventing abuse, so even one click, and one share can help prevent abuse.
Reporting – We have brought together the best safe, secure and confidential abuse reporting and support helplines, empowering you to access support, and if abuse is suspected or disclosed to ACT and REPORT.
That’s why we’ve set our sights on a bold goal: to make the UK the safest place in the world, free from child sexual abuse, where children can grow up happy, healthy and safe.
1 in 10 children will suffer child sexual abuse before the age of 18.
Whilst official statistics paint a staggeringly appalling picture, the scale is likely to be much higher due to unsurmountable barriers to disclosure. Evidence shows over 90% of abuse is carried out by someone the victim knows, or known by the family.
Children are suffering in silence and perpetrators are operating with impunity.
It occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and at all levels of education. When sexual abuse does occur, over 70% keep their abuse a secret for at least 5 years, many stay silent for decades, and some never tell.
Good people are united in our view that sexual crimes against children are abhorrent and among the worst offences an individual can perpetrate, however they are unaware how they can make a difference.
