‘It’s time we talked about it’ campaign
Our campaign – Child sexual abuse prevention – It’s time we talked about it – is currently running across Wales.
It’s designed to ensure parents, carers and professionals working with children and families are as best placed as they can be to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation.
You may have seen our campaign on social media, heard about it in the press or from a professional.
The campaign aims to spread awareness that sexual abuse can happen to any child. But perpetrators take advantage of the fact that sexual abuse is a taboo subject to abuse children and to silence them. That means that by being aware that sexual abuse can and does happen, everyone in the community can help to keep children safe.
Child protection information and resources
Our leaflets with information on how to spot the signs of abuse, and advice on how to respond, can be downloaded below. You can also find information on how to make a Family Safety Plan, as well as our public awareness posters. Each is available in Welsh and English.
You can visit our sister website, Parents Protect, for lots of information about protecting children and additional resources.

Our confidential helpline takes thousands of calls a year from people concerned that abuse has or is taking place.

We also provide advice to parents, carers and other protective adults who want to do the best they can to protect their children from sexual abuse.
Our trained operators also help professionals looking for advice and survivors of abuse who have things they want to talk through.
