Prevention

Here at One in Four, we work with all aspects of sexual violence in a conscientious effort to break the cycle of abuse. There are many supports for those who are in prison or on release, but we identified a gap with non-convicted offenders, and as a result, have gone on to develop our Phoenix Programme.

Sex offender intervention

We offer those who have engaged in sexually harmful behaviour towards children a place on our Risk Management Programme. We see this as a key child protection initiative. Our prevention programme is designed to stop further abuse of children.

Family support

Child abuse often happens within the family unit, and the majority of offenders are not convicted. A family finding out a relative has offended can have a devastating impact. The Phoenix Programme is there to support the family come to terms with what has occurred, and empowers them to help prevent a recurrence.
