Get Involved

There are many ways you can get involved and do your bit to help prevent child sexual abuse.

Below is a list of suggestions.

Donate

Stop it Now! Wales works hard to prevent child sexual abuse by working with all adults across the country. Donations from members of the public go a long way to making sure as many parents as possible receive the advice and information they need to help protect children. Your generosity helps us continue this work. Visit our donating page to find out more about how your donation will help support our work or contact us.

Get the facts and pass them on

There are many myths and stereotypes surrounding the sexual abuse of children that actually get in the way of protecting children. By browsing our Parents Protect! website you can learn the facts around child sexual abuse - as well as what practical steps you can take to protect children - you are helping to ensure a safe childhood for the children in your life. You can also pass these on to your family, friends and colleagues.

Start talking

To prevent child sexual abuse we need to start talking about preventing it. The media is full of stories about children being harmed, normally by a stranger, and the stories are created after the abuse has taken place. The reality is that the abuser is more often known to the victim. Talk to your family, friends and colleagues about what you are doing to protect children and ask them to think about what they can do. Take some resources to your school, faith group or community centre to start a discussion.

Use online networks to spread the word

If you have your own website, you could add a link to this site or if you use Facebook or Twitter you can post the link there. Tell all your contacts about your ideas for prevention and what you are doing to protect children from harm. Help motivate others to do the same.

Host a seminar

The more people that get sound information on how to protect children from sexual harm the better. One way could be through hosting a child sexual abuse prevention seminar through a community group, a workplace, a faith group or a child's school. Awareness raising seminars provide those attending with sound information and advice on how to protect children from sexual abuse.

THE STOP IT NOW! HELPLINE - 0808 1000 900

The Stop It Now! helpline is available for anyone with concerns about child sexual abuse. Callers do not need to give identifying information, so can remain anonymous. We speak to thousands of people every year, and help them take action to protect children and young people from sexual abuse and exploitation.

Opening hours: 9.00am - 9.00pm Mondays to Thursdays and 9.00am - 5.00pm Fridays, and closed on weekends and bank holidays.

Confidentiality Statement: The helpline is confidential and you don't have to give us your full name or any other details that will identify you. But if you do, and then give us information that identifies a child who has been - or is at risk of being - abused, or any information which may suggest that any other person is at risk of harm, then we will pass that information on to the appropriate agencies. We will also pass on details of any criminal offence committed.

You can message the helpline using our secure messaging service by clicking here. Our messaging service is not able to offer an immediate response due to high demand. We aim to respond to messages within 5-7 working days. If your enquiry is urgent please call the confidential helpline.
