Lucy Faithfull Foundation
Charity dedicated solely to tackling child sexual abuse
Anonymous and confidential helpline for anyone with concerns about child sexual abuse and its prevention. The main target groups of the Stop It Now! helpline are: • Adults who have abused and those at risk of abusing: to encourage them to recognise their behaviour as abusive or potentially abusive and to seek help to change. This includes online and offline abuse. Online abuse constitutes viewing indecent images of anyone under the age of 18 and engaging in sexual conversations with anyone under 16 years old. • Family and friends concerned about an adult displaying worrying sexual behaviour towards a child: to encourage them to recognise the signs of abusive behaviour in those close to them and to seek advice about what action to take. • Parents and carers concerned about a child or young person with worrying sexual behaviour: to encourage them to recognise the signs of concerning or harmful sexual behaviour and to seek advice about what positive action they can take. • Adults concerned about a child or young person who may have been abused or has been abused<br /> • Professionals calling for case advice • Adult survivors of child sexual abuse
