Activities
The NSPCC lobbies the government on issues relating to child welfare, and creates campaigns for the general public, with the intention of raising awareness of child protection issues. It also operates both the NSPCC Helpline, offering support to anyone concerned about a child, and ChildLine offering support to children themselves. Childline became a part of the NSPCC in 2006. In addition to the telephone helplines, NSPCC provides an online counselling service for children & young people at www.Childline.org.uk
The charity also runs local services. These offer general family support, as well as more specific services such as working with families with alcohol problems.
In 2009, as part of its new organisational strategy, the NSPCC launched its Child Protection Consultancy service. This provides training, consultancy and learning resources to organisations that have contact with children, ranging from schools to sporting bodies. Through the work of its Child Protection Consultancy, the NSPCC aims to make organisations safer for children and thereby prevent cruelty to children.
As well as its main web site, the NSPCC provides a specialist web site for professionals called NSPCC inform.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
