Lucy Faithfull Foundation

The Lucy Faithfull Foundation (LFF) is a child protection charity committed to reducing the risk of children being sexually abused. LFF’s staff work with adult male and female sexual abusers; young people with inappropriate sexual behaviours; victims of abuse and other family members.

Established in 1993 and named after its founder Baroness Lucy Faithfull of Wolvercote, LFF draws on its cutting-edge knowledge about child sexual abuse in its broad range of activities. These range from research based assessment and treatment of known offenders and their families, consultancy and training for professionals, to the prevention campaign Stop it Now! UK & Ireland and its Helpline, which is available to the general public and to professionals.

LFF engages with offenders in particular and provides a unique set of services aimed specifically at internet offenders and their families. Support is available to help offenders' partners gain an understanding of the issues and offers ways to protect children.

It is LFF's policy to work collaboratively with individuals and agencies of all types concerned with sexual abuse to develop a safer and more child sensitive society - in families, in faith communities, in schools, in residential and foster care, in leisure facilities and on the Internet.
