Violence Is Preventable

VIP is a multi award winning abuse prevention programme for children, young people and vulnerable adults throughout the UK.

It works on three levels:-
Early disclosures - meaning abuse is stopped sooner
Staying safe - avoiding violent or abusive situations
Changing the mindset of potential abusers of the future.

Simply put, our aims are to:-
   Prevent all abuse and violence
   Encourage early disclosures
   Add to the safety of children, young people and vulnerable adults
   Challenge all violence
   Explore alternatives to violence.

To ensure the programme’s success throughout the UK, we need support from teachers and schools, parents, agencies, government, local authorities, potential funders and the media.

A new dedicated site for Senior VIP Resources has just been launched. To visit the site, click here.

Ian Barron's new report on the effectiveness of School Based Abuse Prevention Programmes is now available. Click here to download a pdf.

All of the VIP resources are available to purchase in the shop. In addition, Eighteen And under will provide full training for any agency or school who wishes to run the VIP programmes.
