To offer specialist and tailored therapy to anyone affected by child abuse, be these perpetrators, survivors, fainily members. To prevent the first offence by encouragin¥ through our website, anyone iieedin¥ to, to contact Stopso and seek siipport at that stagFe. To prevent any subsequent offeiiding through the benefits of understanding atjd a therapeutic iiitetvention. ObjeeilvÉs, strategles und &Ltivldes We offer training to therapisis to lake on referrals flir StLipSO. We are nLlW able to otTer subsequent training in all areas pertaiiiing w ihis work. Besides this. we look for all opponuniiies to open a discussion about Ihe iinponance of treating perpetrators iherapeuti¢ally", a dialogue to ensure perpeirators are offered every opportunity to seek help and guidance to desist from criminal and harmful behaviour. We also seek to support survivor5 through thergpy to manage trauma. Page 2
Stopso UK Trustees, Report (eontinued} Public benefit TheTapy assists any individual to identify and manage underlyinbw issues. In the dtmobwraphic that concems us, this means idei)tifyints the underlyiiig causes of offeiidin¥ thought ai)dlor behaviours. We would like to prevent the first olyence. but we can certainl} foLus on preveniii)g subsequent ofteiidin¥ and hamjlul behaviour. The public is horrified by sexual offending. understandably. However, an approach as promoted by Siopso which focuses on therapy and less on punishment, is more likely io enable the individual IL) desist which ultimately keeps the public safe. Our work focuses on all sexual offending against children. Increasingly, this involves ihe online w'orld. As a child protection chariry, M'e seek opportuniiies to discuss the implications of this w'ith oiher agencies such as police and children services who deal with survivors and family members. The trustee5 confilln that they have COTnplied M'ith the requirernents of sectioii 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit gUIdlce published by the ChaTity Commission for Englat]d and Wales. Achievements and performance Annual Report from the Chair Throuuh out this year. Stopso has sougFht to gFrow and develop. In achieving such positive5, 1 rely totally on a Treat team of Trustee5. How'ever, it is with sadness that NigFel Hatten left the board, H,hose devotion and focus was present sinLe the ctsnception of the Lharity. More recently, lai) Richards has also moved on. lan's energy ai)d enthusiastn will be mi5Std. l am grateful for his or¥dnizational ski115 iii pullin¥ tu¥ether thi5 conference. We are delighied to welcome Michael Sheaih as our patron. His eloquent enthusiasm has been welcoined as has his support of Stopso. We also welcome Sue Maxwell to the board whose experience and perspective has been given us a positive focus. I look lorward to workin¥ with both Mike and Sue. We have again offered training to our members and we shall be launching our traiiiing programme at this conference. Our monthly group supervision programme has proved valuable. We have the advantage of having several superb supervisors who offer their time and expertise to our members. We plan to keep these going as long as there is a need and interest. We rely on referrals to be able to offer our members the work we are so passionate to develop. This year we have had an increase of over 30/0 on referrals. taking us to well over 1,000. B). far, these are self-referrals, but increasingly, we are asked to work with individuals via Children Serviceslsolicitors. We encourage all referrals. The board has every faiih that our members will engage in good quality therapy with an group of individuals who are as marginalized by our profession as much as they are by society generally. Stopso has forLFed contacts with the Criminal Justice system, througFh pilots with prisons, as well a5 developing work with police forces. We are committed to developinu these areas of work further. I look forw'ard to this comiiig year. to develop the charity rther, to continue the good work of this most valuable charity. Financial rel'iew The Charity's finances have continued to be Carefully managed in the past year and a surplus of £4,932 was achieved oli unrestricted activities.
