NSPCC
That anyone would harm a child is unthinkable. But thousands of children across the UK suffer severe abuse every day. Working directly with children and families is a crucial part of the NSPCC’s work. To reach the most disadvantaged, the NSPCC has 40 service centres around the UK, including one in Warrington,that provides services at the cutting- edge of child protection.
The NSPCC’s Service Centre on Peace Drive offers services to some of the most vulnerable children and families across Warrington, St Helens, Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East, bringing help and treatment to those children most at risk.
Sexual abuse. Studies show 11% of all children suffer some form of sexual abuse. Sexual abuse damages children emotionally and psychologically. Sexually abused children may act out through violence or withdraw into themselves; they may self-harm or become suicidal. They often find it difficult to build healthy relationships with peers and adults. Through this service, the NSPCC will give therapeutic help to sexually abused children.
Through these services we will demonstrate the most innovative and effective solutions and then campaign for these services to be adopted UK wide. Our work - predominantly funded by public donations – aims to ensure children and young people are better informed, better cared for and better protected.
The NSPCC also provides support to children and their families in Warrington, St Helens, Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East via ChildLine, the UK’s free, confidential 24-hour helpline and online service for children and young people and a helpline for adults who are worried about a child or want advice. Both helplines are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, the ChildLine Schools service works with children in primary schools across Warrington and the UK. By 2016 we plan to visit every primary school at least every two years. The Schools Service aims to ensure children have an understanding of abuse in all its forms, including bullying, and know how to protect themselves and seek help if they need it.
