"Supporting adults to play their part in prevention of child sexual abuse"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Every day, children and young people across the UK suffer sexual abuse, most commonly at the hands of someone they know. Latest research suggests at least one in six children aged 11-17 become victims.
We work to prevent abuse from happening in the first place - and to prevent it from happening again if it already has.
Where abuse has already taken place, we work with all those affected including adult male and female abusers; young people with harmful sexual behaviour; children with concerning sexual behaviours; victims of abuse and other family members. But we also work in families and with adults and young people where there has been no abuse, to help them keep themselves and others as safe as possible.

The Stop it Now! Helpline is available for anyone with concerns about child sexual abuse.
- adults worried about the sexual behaviour of other adults or children and young people

- friends and relatives of people arrested for sexual offending, including internet offending
- any other adult with a concern about child sexual abuse - including survivors and professionals
