Action Against Abduction

Our goals are to ensure that: The UK has the right policy and practice to prevent child abduction, and achieve the best outcomes when children are abducted. Parents and professionals have the most effective strategies and resources to keep children safe. We have a reliable and up-to-date understanding of the nature and scale of child abduction. As a major project to further child safety, we created Clever Never Goes to educate children through parents, teachers and the Police. It is a long overdue alternative to ‘stranger danger’ One of the biggest challenges facing any parent is how to give your child enough freedom to learn for themselves – sometimes from their mistakes – whist fulfilling that most basic parental duty to keep your kids safe. There’s no escaping that worrying things do sometimes happen. Whether it’s something suspicious in your local community or a huge national media story, there are times when we need to be able to pick up a conversation with our kids, re-assure them, and remind them how to stay safe.
