Our services help children who’ve been abused, protect children at risk and find the best ways to prevent child abuse from ever happening.
As part of our fight for every childhood, we work directly with children and families in our national and regional hubs across the UK and Channel Islands and give support to thousands of adults and young people in need through our Helpline service andChildline.
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.
Whether working directly with families or providing support to professionals, our services are here to help protect children today and prevent abuse tomorrow.
We work in communities and schools across the UK and Channel Islands. We learn what works in child protection and we use this knowledge to improve our own work, as well as sharing insight and evidence with others.
Because, together, we can help keep even more children and young people safe.
NSPCC Learning has published a podcast episode on the effects of domestic abuse on children, young people and babies. The episode features representatives from Childline and the NSPCC Helpline discussing: what children are telling Childline about domestic abuse and how this differs from what adults are telling the Helpline; the ways in which the effects of domestic abuse may present through a child’s behaviour; the importance of listening to the voice of the child; and safeguarding actions for professionals who identify domestic abuse.
