We’re the leading children’s charity in the UK, specialising in child protection and dedicated to protecting children today to prevent abuse tomorrow. We’re the only UK children’s charity with statutory powers, which means we can take action to safeguard children at risk of abuse.

Our vision: Together, we can stop child abuse and neglect. Through the collective power of our staff, volunteers, supporters and partners, and our 100 years of experience; we will move closer to achieving that goal.

We’ll make it easier for everyone to play their part and create a social safety net that prevents child abuse and neglect. From parents and teachers, to sports coaches, nurses, social workers and members of the public – we’ll harness their kindness and keep children safe together. Our services like Together for Childhood bring local families, childcare professionals and organisations together to make children safer where they live. And our helpline, staffed by child protection specialists, is here for anyone who needs help or advice on what to do next.

We want more children to feel like they can speak out, stay safe, be heard and understood. Our Childline service plays a big part in encouraging children to talk. Whether it's online or on the phone, we're always here to listen and provide a safe space for children, no matter what difficulties they’re facing. We’ll also continue to work with schools across the UK through programmes like Speak out. Stay safe. to help children recognise abuse, understand that it's never their fault, and know who to talk to. By working together to give children the supportive response they need, we can also make sure abuse doesn’t shape their future. We want to build on and share our expert support to help children recover if they've experienced it.
