Many of our listening services for young people did not exist before the FULL STOP Campaign . They mean children can contact us directly rather than be referred through another agency.
Your support meant that we were able to continue providing all our existing services for children whilst joining with ChildLine. In 2006/07 11,505 called to talk about sexual abuse.
Since the launch of the FULL STOP campaign we have set up 14 teams, providing independent listening and counselling services to children, which one teacher described as “absolutely invaluable”.
There4me.com is a highly interactive website for young people aged 12-16 years offering information and advice on a broad range of issues that are important to this age group. There4me.com gives young people an alternative and secure means of gaining help when they most need it.
In excess of 7,000 young people have used the website to speak for the first time about the abuse they have suffered. Since it’s launch in 2001, There4me advisers have:
Eight centres help to prevent abuse by giving young people a voice and involving them in the decisions that affect their lives. Counsellors are on hand if young people need to talk about their problems.Your support means we can do more than ever to prevent abuse from happening, to protect children and young people and to help them overcome it.
Twenty one teams help children and their families to address or overcome the destructive effects of domestic violence, restoring healthy relationships. A child who attended one of these projects told us: “Before I came here, I didn’t talk to anyone. Now I can talk and laugh.”
In 2007/08, 95,531 calls were made to the NSPCC Child Protection Helpline, we answered 76,938 calls which is 80%. The service also now provides support in Welsh and five Asian languages.
The NSPCC is the only charity with the statutory power to undertake child abuse investigations and can be called upon by the police and local authorities to assist them.
Over 900 children and young people were helped by the NSPCC’s 34 therapeutic and treatment teams during the course of 2007/08.
Seven teams help to prepare children and young people for giving evidence and support them through the court process. One young girl wrote to us to say: “I’d like to thank my worker for making my nightmares go away.”
