Child abuse and neglect happens every day, in every walk of life, all around the UK. At least two children in the average primary school classroom have experienced abuse or neglect. By the time they turn 18, that number rises to at least 4.NSPCC have been protecting children for over 100 years. Over 5 years, thanks to the generosity of supporters, volunteers and staff, they helped to make more than 6.6 million children safer from abuse. New services to help families, campaigned to change laws, shared information about abuse and how to recognise it, along with developed new tools for children, parents and professionals.
We’ve come a long way since our founder, Thomas Barnardo set up a ‘ragged school’ to help disadvantaged children in 1867. Now we’re helping hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents and carers across the UK.
We don’t abandon children because of who they are or what they’ve done. We listen to them, fight for their rights and do whatever it takes to protect and support them – because we believe that all children have the right to a happy and healthy life. Read more about our values. At a time when more young people need specialist help with complex issues like sexual abuse, mental health problems and serious violence, our work is more vital than ever. Times have changed and we've changed with them, but our belief in the potential of every child remains. Because this is who we are.
North Wales is an area of great beauty, diversity, culture and popularity, with residents, those who work here and visitors. As a police force, we play an important role in supporting and protecting all sections of the community.
