CROP works with parents and carers so that they can become active agents in responding to the sexual exploitation of their children. The charity achieves this by:

• assisting parents in their fight to free their children from perpetrators;
• enabling parents to become equal partners with statutory and voluntary agencies;
• alerting government and other agencies to the need for more effective legislation, as well as the implementation of existing, yet under-used legislation, to combat sexual exploitation by perpetrators operating in the UK;
• enhancing public awareness and understanding of the complex and changing operation of perpetrators targeting children and young people in England and Wales, including their grooming processes, and trafficking within and between cities;
• challenging inaccurate stereotyping of individuals (girls and women in particular) who are being or have been sexual exploited;
• disrupting the activities of perpetrators and pursuing convictions;
• encouraging parents to work collectively with other parents by offering mutual support and comfort.
