ABOUT US – Public Child Protection Wales

Public Child Protection Wales (PCPW) is a grassroots movement dedicated to protecting children from institutional failings in sexual safeguarding. We are parents, grandparents, professionals, and concerned citizens from all walks of life — united by one goal: to ensure that every child in Wales and the UK is protected from harmful policies and practices.

​

We are perhaps best known for leading the fight against the Welsh Government’s decision to impose mandatory Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) from the age of three, without parental opt-out. This unprecedented state overreach has sparked national concern, and we have taken that fight from the streets to the courts, raising awareness across the UK and exposing how similar policies are affecting families everywhere.

​

But our work does not stop at resistance. We are building solutions.

​

More recently, we have been developing educational and safeguarding packages grounded in a criminological approach to preventing Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). These packages draw on offender-informed safeguarding, real-world case studies, and evidence-based prevention strategies. We have designed four innovative concepts and piloted them with over 100 people — receiving incredible feedback. Our vision includes expanding these programmes to also support trauma recovery, ensuring that prevention and healing go hand in hand.

​

Our team is well-rounded, well-educated, and highly motivated, combining grassroots passion with professional expertise. We come from education, law, criminology, social care, health, and community work. You can meet our team here.

​

The fight is far from over. We are forming a Curriculum Watch Committee Wales in time for the next academic year, to hold education policy to account and ensure full transparency for parents.

​

If you believe children deserve safeguarding without ideology, policy without secrecy, and education without sexualisation — we invite you to connect with us.

Together, we can defend childhood.
