Your help makes a difference

Before 2023, there were no laws to regulate tech companies and protect children online.

147,635 people took action, and we now have an Online Safety Act that children and young people can be proud of.

Until we campaigned, some adults in positions of power – like coaches and faith leaders – could have sex with 16 and 17-year-olds in their care.

Over 3,500 NSPCC campaigners emailed their MP using our template. The law now protects young people in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Before 2015, child witnesses in abuse cases had to risk seeing their abuser to give evidence in court.

Over 21,000 people signed our petition and emailed their MP. Children can now give evidence somewhere safe.

In 2014, it wasn’t illegal for an adult to send a child a sexual message – online grooming wasn’t a crime.

Thanks to the 50,000 people who signed our petition and emailed the Minister for Online Child Protection, now it is.
