Stop it Now! UK & Ireland is a campaign, managed by the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, which aims to prevent child sexual abuse by raising awareness and encouraging early recognition and responses to the problem by abusers themselves and those close to them. It does this through:
- the establishment of national and regional projects based on partnerships between the local community and the statutory and voluntary agencies
- the dissemination of information and
- the provision of a confidential helpline.
Stop it Now! believes sexual abuse is preventable and urges abusers and potential abusers to seek help and gives adults the information they need to protect children effectively. Stop it Now! encourages adults to create a society that no longer tolerates the sexual abuse of children.
