We are humbled that the largest amount ever raised by the YTVC conference was donated to us today. This will mean more calls answered to families on the worst day of their lives when they learn their partner or family member has been sexually harming kids

Due to tender delays and lack of funding, Nat has been unable to deliver a national service for 16 months. That’s a year and a half of traumatised families and children trying to deal with the aftermath of a CSAM investigation and prosecution, without support.
The brilliant and wonderful @PartnerSPEAK CEO Natalie Walker speaking at the #ytvc2024 conference dinner.
Nat founded the world’s first support service for the non-offending partners and families of child sexual abuse material offenders.
We are seeing shocking delays in funding of vital national child abuse services. The tender process for services for non-offending family members, and to help people worried that they might abuse children, has been delayed 18 months now! What is going on? https://t.co/fLVjr17gaM
The National Strategy promised a service for non-offending partners and families, but “abused children and affected families [are] stranded,” - Natalie Walker, PartnerSPEAK. The delay is blocking support and hindering law enforcement efforts
