1 in 20 children are sexually abused. But that’s only a conservative estimate.

Become the person a child can tell. If you don’t, who will?

Trauma-informed and experienced.

Who we are

Our mission is to dramatically reduce the incidence of child sexual abuse. We do this through targeted professional training, policy advocacy, and awareness campaigns. Our work is deeply personal, driven by what we wish had been available to us as children.

More about us

Our training

Early disclosure saves lives. We create conditions where disclosures can happen as soon as possible. To ensure lasting impact, we follow up our training with in-depth feedback and ongoing support for your team.

Dare to Ask

Our campaigns

Despite IICSA recommendations, there is still no legal duty to report child abuse to a local authority in England (except for FGM). This means that institutions can still turn a blind eye to known abuse.

If you’re looking to arrange a school talk or CPD, I can’t recommend this team enough.

'The workshop was just superb. The survivor-led discussion enabled us to consider how we enable children to disclose, how we act when they do, and most importantly how we remove or reduce the barriers to disclosure.

The team maintained an open, positive conversation where we could be critical about our own work and demand more from ourselves. If you’re looking to arrange a school talk or CPD, I can’t recommend this team enough.'
