Campaign to stop to prevent child sexual abuse launched, 29/04/09 [W]
Campaign to stop to prevent child sexual abuse launched, 29/04/09 [W]

Stop it Now! Wales is a campaign which calls on the public to face the facts and start taking positive action to prevent child sexual abuse in Wales.

Between December 2008 and March of this year, Stop it Now!, managed by the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, ran a survey to determine Welsh attitudes to and knowledge of child sexual abuse. The survey established that not enough is known and that people don’t know what to do if the have concerns about a child.

  • Nearly 70% said they wished they knew more about how to prevent child sexual abuse.
  • 41% said they were unsure of signs adults may display if they were sexually abusing a child.  The same number said they were unsure of signs a child might display if they were sexually abusing another child.
  • 26% said they had been concerned about an adult they know possibly sexually abusing a child. Of these 18% said the adults were members of the respondent’s own family.

Stop it Now! runs a free, confidential 0808 1000 900 helpline for all adults who are concerned either about a child or about their own, or another person’s, behaviour towards children. There are also plans to hold training and awareness raising events for parents, grandparents and professionals who work with young people.

For further information, please contact Rebecca Wasinski, National Manager, at RWasinski@stopitnow.org.uk.
