Our anniversaries
Anniversaries do not directly help children, but they are a useful time to reflect on what we have achieved and how much more we still have to do. This year saw a number of significant milestones for the NSPCC. Our Training and Consultancy services reached 20 years of sharing best practice with professionals and others who protect children. It was also the 10th anniversary of the FULL STOP Campaign and the 125th anniversary of the NSPCC itself.
10 years of the FULL STOP Campaign
The FULL STOP Campaign has been the NSPCC’s most ambitious undertaking to date. Thanks to overwhelming public support since 1999, we have almost doubled our activities to help children.
A growing number – tens of thousands – of children, young people and their families have been helped through our local and national services. Our work with other organisations has multiplied this impact, reaching many more. Child protection laws and policies have changed to benefit all children. And the way society thinks about children – from public attitudes to laws and professional practices – has been changed for good. This provides the foundation for the way we approach ending cruelty to children in future.
The timeline above picks out just a few FULL STOP achievements. For more detail, see our report, Changing society for children FULL STOP.
125 years of ending cruelty to children
There have been many significant moments in the NSPCC’s 125-year history – protecting children, changing the law and influencing the way that society thinks.
This timeline shows just a few of them. For a more complete picture, take a look at our History of the NSPCC booklet.
