Child Assault Prevention (Cap-Uk)

CAP UK (Child Assault Prevention Project) is a community project that brings parents /carers, school staff, and children together to understand how to effectively reduce children's vulnerability to child abuse and build safer communities for children. Unfortunately, child abuse is very real. The NSPCC estimates that 1 child dies every week in the UK at the hands of someone known to them. Research shows that at least one in ten children suffer some form of abuse during their childhood. As we hear so many stories in the news about adults coming forward to disclose their childhood suffering, CAP is proud to be working with whole communities towards recognising child abuse and teaching skills to know how to deal with it. Based on an international programme that began in 1978 in the USA, CAP UK has been culturally tailored and running in Devon since 1995. During this time we have reached thousands of children with our important messages. CAP-UK works with the whole school community. Much of our work is in primary schools but we also have a nursery, special educational needs and teenage programme. CAP operates a rolling programme with different, repeat visits every 18 months to build on the messages taught.
