And so the movement begins. 🇬🇧
PAG UK National is officially here, built with a clear purpose:
Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families.
Our mission is to create a trusted, dedicated space where safeguarding awareness, survivor support, practical family resources, education, and grassroots community action come together under one national banner.
Every child deserves protection, and every family and survivor deserves to have their voice heard and supported.
Big things are coming.
We are building a unified network across the entire nation. Dedicated regional pages will roll out across North England, the Midlands, South England, Scotland, and Wales bringing tailored local resources, community updates, and direct support closer to where you are.
This is more than just an account. It is a national movement to ensure that knowledge, safety, and community action stay at the absolute heart of the conversation.
Together, we are stronger.
Stay tuned, follow along, and join us as we grow.
This is only the beginning.

Well done to Mason Laidler, he spoke at the Newcastle City Council meeting about the active R•pe Gangs operating across Newcastle.@gb_national
Our children must be protected at all costs.
Healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about recognising how far you’ve come, even when the steps feel small.
For survivors, healing can be a journey filled with different emotions, difficult days and moments of uncertainty. Some days may feel easier than others. There may be setbacks, questions and times when progress is hard to recognise.
But healing doesn’t have to follow a timetable, and there is no right or wrong way to move forward.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to pretend to be okay. And you certainly don’t have to face everything alone.
Every small step matters. Every moment of courage matters. You deserve patience, understanding and support along the way.
At PAG UK, we believe survivors deserve to be heard, believed and supported, not judged by where they are in their journey.
Take your time. Be kind to yourself. Your past does not define your future.
Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families.

GROOMING GANGS ARE NOT A THING OF THE PAST.
Child sexual exploitation has not disappeared. Organised exploitation of children continues to be a safeguarding concern, and we cannot afford to become complacent or assume that the problem belongs to another time.
Behind every headline, statistic and investigation are real children whose safety, childhood and futures matter.
We must listen to survivors, take concerns seriously, recognise the warning signs and ensure that every report is met with the appropriate response. No community should be allowed to look the other way, and no child should be left without protection.
Awareness is not enough on its own. We need vigilance, accountability, effective safeguarding and the courage to keep asking difficult questions.
This is not about fear or blame. It is about protecting children, supporting survivors and making sure lessons are learned.
Grooming and exploitation have not gone away. Neither can our determination to challenge them.
Supporting survivors. Protecting children. Empowering families.

God bless her. Still fighting! Read what she's been though, watch the video.
What an incredibly strong woman and a fantastic artist too, I may add!
If you haven't heard this amazing lady speak yet, please look out for her Spaces, along with those hosted by the other ladies. They're truly inspirational.
Ladies of many talents, strength and determination. Keep up the fantastic work!
Lots of love,

This is the nightmare all survivors and families fear….children are still being abused and exploited!
The grooming of children, abuse and exploitation from rape gangs and more still continues!
It is extremely clear that NOT enough has been done!
Safeguarding is inadequate and more MUST and NEEDS be done! NOW! Today!
There has been NO accountability for past mistakes and negligence!
Safeguarding, protection, duty of care, have been totally inadequate!
Not just in Newcastle, but across the country!
There has been no accountability or consequences for those in a position of trust that have, not just been neglectful but have deliberately ignored and turned a blind eye to this scandalous and industrial abuse of children!
In many cases those responsible for safeguarding children, especially those in the care system, are, in fact not just negligent but actually complicit, regardless of any personal physical involvement!
PAG UK are an organisation that is dedicated to supporting survivors, raising awareness and bringing to account ALL that fail our vulnerable children.
Lessons learned, doesn’t cut it ANYMORE!
We’ve heard it all before and NOTHING ever changes!
Thank you Mason for standing up, being a voice and not allowing this issue to be ignored!
Let’s, as parents, grandparents, responsible adults, and most importantly as a nation…advocate and push for transparency, responsibility and accountability!
The absolute failure and cover up by this and previous governments is not just a massive failing, but has also enabled and facilitated this national scandal to persist for decades!
All those responsible and culpable MUST face serious consequences!
THIS MUST STOP!
NOW!
