Founded in 1996 and driven by the experiences and needs of affected parents, CROP is the only UK organisation to specialise in working alongside the parents, carers and wider family of child sexual exploitation victims.

CROP’s substantial experience, specialist expertise and family-centred approach to tackling child sexual exploitation means that it can support, encourage and enable parents and families to be actively involved in responding to the devastating, complex and multiple issues that arise as a result of the sexual exploitation of their child.

CROP aims to:

• enable parents to be active in safeguarding their children from sexual exploitation;
• challenge and change public attitudes on child sexual exploitation and its impact on families;
• work to change policy and practice in relation to child sexual exploitation; and
• promote the bringing of perpetrators to justice.
