Description:

Context and Background

The NSPCC's purpose is to prevent child abuse and neglect of children across the UK and Channel Islands. We have been fighting for childhood for the last 130 years and our organisational strategy for 2021-2031 is enabling the NSPCC to achieve greater change for children and inspiring others to join us in the fight for childhood. 

Our services help children who've been abused, protect children at risk and find the best ways to prevent child abuse from ever happening. We work directly with children and families through our national and regional hubs across the UK and Channel Islands. We also give support to thousands of adults and young people in need through the NSPCC Helpline and Childline. We work with schools up and down the country through our Speak Out Stay Safe programme, helping children to keep themselves safe. And our projects such as Together for Childhood help children who've experienced abuse, support parents, and work to transform the way communities come together to prevent child cruelty. 

Our local services support children and families throughout the UK and Channel Islands. We provide therapeutic services to help children move on from abuse, as well as supporting parents and families in caring for their children. We help professionals make the best decisions for children and young people, and support communities to help prevent abuse from happening in the first place. 

The NSPCC Schools Service engages with the entire school community, children, teachers, parents and carers, to ensure that every child in the UK and Channel Islands is better supported so that they can speak out, feel safe, listened to and understood. 

Our Speak out Stay safe programme delivers safeguarding messages online and face-to-face to primary schools. The service helps children to understand that they always have a right to feel safe, and that they can speak to a trusted adult or Childline if they ever need help or support.
