About MCF


Child sexual abuse destroys lives. The growth of technology means this is happening to children on a scale never seen before. The impact of this type of abuse means many never speak up. If they do, they often feel blamed for what has been done to them, causing further harm. We work to change the system to one that will do no further harm.

The review was forensic, but supportive in nature, and led to several practical recommendations which have enabled us to strengthen our approach to the prevention and response to harmful sexual behaviour.
