This campaign aims to prevent child sexual abuse by raising awareness and encouraging early recognition of warning signs of abuse and identifying and responses to the problem by abusers themselves and those close to them.

It does this through:

  • the establishment of national and regional projects based on partnerships between the local community and the statutory and voluntary agencies the dissemination of information
  • the provision of a confidential helpline and email service
  • Stop It Now! believes that sexual abuse and exploitation is preventable and gives adults the information they need to protect children effectively whilst urging abusers and potential abusers to seek help. Stop It Now! encourages adults to create a society that no longer tolerates the sexual abuse of children.

It operates a confidential and anonymous helpline and email service - 0808 1000 900https://contactus.stopitnow.org.uk/
