About us
Lucy Faithfull Foundation Scotland is part of a UK-wide charity that exists to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. We’re bold, we’re pioneering, we’re growing, and we want your help.
We’re here for everyone who needs us. We protect children by working with people who pose a risk and diverting them from causing harm. We support individuals and families who have been affected by abuse. And we help professionals who work with families to create safer environments for children.
Our UK wide charity runs the confidential Stop It Now helpline and Shore, a website for teenagers.
We use data and insight, alongside decades of experience, to develop innovative strategies and interventions to make prevention a reality.
We engage with policy and decision makers to advocate for a public health approach to child sexual abuse.
We bring our specialist expertise, understanding and knowledge of what keeps children safe to the widest possible audience.
Our values help guide our actions and help ensure we achieve our purpose: we act with integrity, we are collaborative, we are innovative, we are ambitious and we have hope.
Our Edinburgh based team – formerly known as Stop It Now Scotland - covers the whole of the country. Our practitioners have extensive backgrounds in child protection and sex offender rehabilitation. We provide individual and groupwork to around 150 adults and adolescents every year who present a sexual risk of harm to children who cannot access statutory services. This includes individuals who are under investigation for online sexual offences and those who have not offended but are worried about doing so. We also work with around 100 partners, family members and members of wider networks around those individuals. We use what we learn from our work to develop and deliver resources, information and training for professionals and the public, so that they can better protect children from harm and prevent abuse before it happens.

This is a highly rewarding role making a genuine difference to children’s lives. It involves working within a friendly, supportive and hardworking team which is committed to keeping children safe from sexual harm.
