"Safeguarding" destroys thousands of innocent people's lives across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's time that it was made history. The Police and Social Services fail to protect those that need protecting and then massage their statistics by attempting to rip families apart for as little as simply not welcoming Social Services involvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, of course not. We have to presume innocence, however, as we are the only coalition and group of our kind. There is a system in place, that is undoubtedly failing, in the conviction of innocent people already. It’s important that innocent people are represented.
We want a replacement for “Safeguarding” which is not fit for purpose as it simply transfers the vulnerability to the accused and seeks to oppress this. Of course we want kids and vulnerable people protected.
It’s up to our members to come up with the replacement and campaign for it.
We collate information through Freedom of Information Requests. Where Local Authorities are uncooperative with answering our questions, we draw an adverse inference – just like the Police do.
Secondly, we raise awareness and campaign for change.
We support people who are falsely accused of all kinds of abuse of children, adults and older folk.
We are equally as concerned. Inspired by the awesome work of many Social Media Groups, we encourage the total anonymity of our members by using untraceable usernames, not mentioning their loved ones names or any identifying features of the “cases”.
Because we encourage the total anonymity of our members and we strongly encourage members not to use usernames or Email addresses that link back to them or to provide details of their “cases” that might help with recognising them.
We appreciate the question. Current Social Media groups are geared towards emotional support and cooperating with Social Services. We agree with the emotional support given but we don’t believe our members should have to pander to Social Services.
We understand why this advice is given, and it is sound given the lack of anybody actually legally fighting back.
We believe in legally fighting back. This is how we are different.
We are also not looking to replace existing Social Media groups and Social Media Groups, that agree to our terms, that are there to protect members, are welcome to also join, as a coalition, in their own right.
Please join our forum by clicking here. It is free to join and it is our virtual office for all members.
Local Authorities, the Police and Social Workers, including those employed, volunteering or other affiliated, even if they have been negatively affected by “Safeguarding” are not welcome here. It serves them right as they have joined organisations that support the oppression of families.
You don’t need to be personally affected by “safeguarding” to join us otherwise, as long as you agree with our campaign and purpose. “Safeguarding” can affect any one of us.
Like minded groups, as a coalition, are welcome to join the Stop Safeguarding Now coalition.
Breaching our membership criteria and attempting to fraudulently register is a breach of the Computer Misuse Act 1991. We do have ways and means of checking for this and removing offenders.
It is important to note, however, we can only check for this AFTER they have joined, hence our rules being that people maintain their anonymity.
We actively encourage our members to report all suspicious activity to us.
Only if you have been personally affected and then you need to follow the same rules of anonymity as all of our members which means you can’t quote the contents for journalistic purposes without going through the correct channel.
We strongly encourage the involvement of Journalists, however.
We can ask any members if they’d be happy to speak to you but you would need to guarantee their anonymity both in terms of any filming, audio, or written journalism. We have a contact form, for this purpose, above.
What each agreeing member is comfortable with is up to them in terms of filming, audio or written journalism. The comfort of our members is of paramount importance.
Please use our contact form (within the menu) to make contact with us, if you are contacting us in a journalistic capacity.
We are a democratic organisation and have forums open to everybody to create ballots for change. Any aspect of Stop Safeguarding Now is open to scrutiny from our members. We’d really love to hear about things you like too!
Please register and see that we are not. We will welcome donations but don’t worry if you can’t afford it. We’d just be grateful for donations to our modest running costs.
We are not going to force you to or be in your face about it though.
Yes, by people affected by Social Services in a different Local Authority, as an extra protection from abuse.
All moderators are democratically elected by the partner Local Authority forum.
The Police and Social Services clearly believe that those subjected to malicious and/or unfounded allegations are wholly expendable demonstrating that there is nothing even remotely "social" about them and that the Police are not policing by consent.
Loved ones removed "just in case" there is abuse with retrospective attempts by Social Services to justify their actions through copied and pasted reports, lies and fabricated "evidence", costly damage caused by the Police breaking in to people's homes at Social Services behest, public humiliation riding on "no smoke without fire" public attitudes and Courts operating in secret are just some of the tactics used. They are a damning indictment of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for outsiders looking in.
Please register your interest in volunteering on this project, including in helping to steer it, by using the “Register Interest” link in the menu above and by registering on our forum. Anyone employed, who volunteers or is otherwise associated in a “professional” capacity with the Police, Social Services or a Local Authority more widely is not welcome.
We also intend to run a free 24 hour, 7 day a week anonymous, peer-led emotional support telephone line soon.
Please let us know if you’d like to volunteer with this – either by answering calls or in the administration of the telephone line using the same contact form. Please also let us know if you’d like to help with the forum or would be interested in making a donation to our running costs.
Thank you for your interest.
There are no consequences for those that make malicious allegations, Social Workers and Local Authorities consider themselves above suspicion and the NSPCC actively discourages the recording of Safeguarding Allegations as malicious.

Our First Stages From November 2023
To form a Freedom of Information Research Team to conduct online Freedom of Information Requests to all Local Authorities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and to collate the results. You can find out more on the Big FOI Page in the menu above.
As a democratic coalition, where we welcome individuals and groups alike, it is essential to have a place where our members can network. We use the Stop Safeguarding Now Coalition forum to do this. Members of the forum are members of the Stop Safeguarding Now Coalition.
This area of work is now completed. You can visit and register on our forum in the menu above. Please pay careful attention to the terms of registration.
To set up a 24 hour peer-led support telephone line for those affected by unfounded Safeguarding Allegations.
Other stages will be released in due course with full member input. To have your say on every aspect of the Stop Safeguarding Now Coalition, please register on the forum (linked above). Thanks.
