The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) is the UK's leading charity specialising in child protection and the prevention of cruelty to children. It has been protecting children from abuse for over 100 years. The NSPCC is the only children's charity in the UK with statutory powers enabling it to act to safeguard children at risk.

The NSPCC exists to:
prevent children suffering significant harm as a result of cruelty
protect children who are at risk of such harm
help children who have suffered cruelty to overcome its effects
work to protect children from further harm

Creating a better future for children
Cruelty to children casts an evil shadow over our society, as the following facts show all too clearly:
Each week at least one child dies following abuse and neglect

Around 36,000 children are on child protection registers

350,000 to 400,000 children live in families which are "consistently low in warmth and high in criticism"

About one-third of girls and over one-fifth of boys (aged between 12 and 15) said they were afraid, at least sometimes, to go to school because of bullying

26% of recorded rape victims are children

Such cruelty is a national scandal and can no longer be tolerated.

The NSPCC has a vision - a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential.
