Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership

It's not OK - sexual abuse & exploitation

In 2018 the SSCB (now called the Sheffield Children Safeguarding Partnership), the NSPCC and key partners joined together to plan and deliver the 'It's Not OK' Campaign, which aimed to raise practitioner and public awareness of sexual exploitation and abuse. Over the 12 months of the campaign hundreds of practitioners from across the Sheffield children's workforce attended workshops and training events, and Year 7 pupils from local secondary schools benefited from a specially commissioned theatre production that explored the themes of abuse and exploitation.

The campaign may be over but the work to raise awareness, build confidence and protect children from abuse and exploitation goes on.  Below you will find links to information and resources which aims to support everyone in this important task.

What is Child Sexual Exploitation?

Who to talk to and where to look for help

What happens when I say...   Talk Pants & you've got it covered!

Speaking up about sexual abuse or exploitation can be upsetting and scary - you want it to stop but you're worried about what happens next.

This is normal and it’s okay to feel like this.

 
  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help
