The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)is a British child protection charity.

In 2009, the NSPCC launched a new seven year strategy. The strategy reaffirmed the society's vision to ending cruelty to children in the UK. It was suggested that policy, influencing and campaigning work, combined with the experience of working directly with young people could help deliver this vision. Learning was to be at the core of the society's work. The ambition was to subject all of the organisation's direct services to evaluation and then to roll out effective interventions to mainstream service providers. In 2016 the society's new six year strategy pledged to continue generating evidence of 'what works' in preventing child sexual abuse.

In 2016, the NSPCC launched a web based 'Impact and Evidence' Hub which was designed to promote and make accessible the research evidence that it produced. The hub contained sections on:

Research and evaluation reports.

Information about how evaluations were carried out by the NSPCC, including information about the outcome measures used.A series of blog articles recounting the experiences of professionals in running research articles and producing evidence.Information about the organisation's Research Ethics Committee and the process of ethical review to which research projects needed to be subject.
