Welcome to Stop it Now!

Stop it Now! UK and Ireland is a child sexual abuse prevention campaign. We support adults to play their part in prevention through providing sound information, educating members of the public, training those who work with children and families and running a freephone confidential helpline.  

Our Helpline is available to adults worried about the behaviour of other adults or children and young people, those worried about their own sexual thoughts or behaviour towards children and any other adult with a concern about child sexual abuse.

We believe that child sexual abuse is preventable, not inevitable, and urge abusers and potential abusers to seek help. By working together we can prevent child sexual abuse.

Stop it Now! works hard to prevent child sexual abuse by working with all adults. Our Helpline works with those concerned about their own thoughts or behaviour towards children, adults concerned about another adult or child’s behaviour and with professionals needing case advice.
