Materials and Postage charges

In the past Parents Protect! and Stop it Now! materials have been made available free of charge. However, with reductions in funding we are no longer in a position to be able to offer materials at no cost. It may be possible to send some small free of charge but large orders incur a minimal fee. The postage of all orders will need to be paid by the receiver. Please contact us for more information on charges.

Download for free - but consider a donation

Many of the items below are free to download, and we want to continue to provide free information and research to help adults, parents and carers protect children from harm when we can. However, we have limited funds available to develop and print materials and we welcome support from individuals.
