The London Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was founded in 1884. It changed its
name to The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC)
in 1889. Its aim then was to protect children from cruelty, support vulnerable
families, campaign for changes to the law and raise awareness about abuse. Our
inspiration and visionOur vision is ending cruelty to children in the
UK. We believe cruelty is preventable and that through having an inspirational
vision we will achieve much greater success for children. Concentrate on
specific types of abuse and on children who are at most risk to ensure our intervention
creates greatest impact. On our own we cannot end cruelty to children. We need
to work with and through others to multiply our impact many times over. The statements
below define the activities we will undertake in pursuit of our vision; we will: - Create
and deliver services for children which are innovate, distinctive and demonstrate
how to enhance child protection most effectively
- Provide advice and support
to adults and professionals concerned about a child and if necessary take action
to protect the child
- Work with organisations which work with children
to ensure they effectively protect children and challenge those who do not

for changes to legislation, policy and practice to ensure they best protect children
- Persuade
everyone to take personal responsibility for preventing cruelty to children
