Our objective

The NSPCC's purpose is to end cruelty to children. Our vision is of a society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. We seek to achieve cultural, social and political change - influencing legislation, policy, practice, attitudes and behaviours and delivering services for the benefit of children and young people.

Our services for children and young people

The NSPCC runs services for children, young people and their families throughout the UK and the Channel Islands. Each service offers support in specialised areas, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, family support, substance and alcohol misuse, and young witnesses. Support facilities for parents and schools are also offered. In addition to this, the NSPCC offers listening services, many of which did not exist before the FULL STOP Campaign.
