National and regional hubs
In 2021, we announced our 10-year strategy to make the biggest impact we can to stop child abuse and neglect.
Our local services are an essential part of how our three impact goals will be delivered. As part of this, we are excited to establish an NSPCC presence in every nation and English region. However, our work will not be limited to these towns and cities. This new network instead enables us to embed ourselves in every community.
By having a presence in every English region and devolved nation, we can work better with children, young people, families and partners in communities. Our grounding in communities will support our policy research and influencing at a local and national level.
Our regional hubs bring together our work in schools, local campaigning and our direct services. They give us a presence in every English region and devolved nation, meaning we can make the biggest impact on the lives of children.

Services available:
Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART), Letting the Future In, The Lighthouse, The London Infant Family Team (LIFT), The National Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (NCATS).
Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART):
Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART) is a face to face group work programme that helps children and mothers get back on track after experiencing domestic abuse. Over 10 weeks, mothers and children aged seven to 14 meet to explore their experiences, learn coping strategies and rebuild their individual parent-child relationships. We accept referrals from professionals and mothers across the Greater London area.
Letting the Future In:
Through Letting the Future In, we support children and young people, aged 4 to 17, to rebuild their lives after experiencing sexual abuse. Practitioners work with children in safe therapeutic spaces, doing things like messy play, writing, storytelling and art to help them express feelings as well as talking. The service also includes direct work with parents/carers and siblings who may also need help and support. The programme of weekly therapeutic sessions takes around 9 months to complete and we accept referrals from professionals and parents/carers across the Greater London area.
The Lighthouse:
The Lighthouse provides support to children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse to help them recover. Find out more on The Lighthouse website.
The London Infant Family Team (LIFT):
The London Infant Family Team (LIFT) is a service that helps social workers and judges in London decide whether a child should stay with their birth family or enter care permanently. Moving in and out of care is very disruptive and can have long-term effects on a child’s mental health. But some effects can be prevented if they’re placed in a secure, loving home early in life.
The National Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (NCATS):
The National Clinical Assessment and Treatment Service (NCATS) works with children and young people at risk of harming other children sexually. We run this service because children and young people with harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) harm themselves and others. Those who develop HSB have usually experienced abuse and neglect themselves. Depending on the results of the assessment, we might recommend treatment or care that works with the young person on their own, or with the family.
