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.
The NSPCC's Independent Enquiry and Assessment Service (IEAS) is a network of ten teams of child protection social workers across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These teams make independent child protection enquiries into allegations of abuse. Some of these cases may involve organised networks of sex offenders, which could have thousands of members.
