We are a coalition of child protection charities, sexual violence services, safeguarding bodies, educators and clinical researchers, all in one room. We contributed to the Independent Pornography Review, commissioned in 2023 and reported in 2025, and now work on the longer-term legislative answers.

We arrive at every debate with the same evidence and the same ask, across parties.
