Ivison Trust
We believe parents and carers are, and should be valued as partners in safeguarding children from exploitation outside the family.
ABOUT US:
Ivison Trust (formerly Pace) is a national charity working to keep children safe from exploitation by supporting their parents, disrupting the exploiters and working in partnership with police and family services. We also train professionals to support affected children and their parents using a trauma-informed, family-centric approach.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS:
Ivison Trust seeks to:
- Enable parents and carers to safeguard their child from exploitation.
- Provide evidence and specialist advice in order to demonstrate to partners that parents and carers have an essential safeguarding role.
- Work with parents and partners to disrupt and bring exploiters to justice.
- Influence national and local policy and practice to reflect the active safeguarding role of parents and the impact on families of child exploitation.
- Sustain long term change by training partners in the active role of parents and carers safeguarding their children.
OUR VALUES:
Our vision is to work in partnership with parents to end child exploitation.
Empowering: We believe in the strength of families and are committed to amplifying the voice of parents by providing support that recognises the impact of trauma.
Inclusive: We respect the right of every child in every family to be able to grow up safely and free from exploitation.
Transformative: We are dedicated to working alongside parents and families to ensure that systems for protecting their children from harm are fit for purpose.
