Remember: Child sexual abuse is PREVENTABLE not inevitable.Do you want a SMART Enough? event?
We can help. And it won’t cost you anything.
SMART Enough? Offers an educational presentation to groups and organisations across Surrey for free.
The presentation takes a positive approach to safety education, drawing upon years of experience of working in child protection, and using actual case accounts to help participants learn better ways to prevent child sexual abuse. We aim to dispel common myths surrounding child sex offenders while at the same time arming parents and carers with sound information that will help them keep their youngsters safe from harm.
We will also offer a better understanding of how convicted sex offenders are looked after on release into the community.
The presentation tells adults:
- HOW and WHY children fall victim to sex offenders
- HOW to minimize opportunity and risks
- HOW to practice safety skills with your child
- WHERE to go for help
The best part? You walk away feeling empowered and encouraged knowing how to better protect your families.
We are happy to come along to give a presentation to any group whether you are a school, church, nursery group, please give us a call if your interested, it doesn’t matter how small or large your group is.

What are the aims of SMART Enough?
The SMART Enough? programme is aimed at helping parents and carers better protect their children from child sex offenders. The number one aim is to prevent children and young people from being harmed by sex offenders. The programme aims to dispel common myths surrounding child sex offenders while at the same time arming parents and carers with sound information that will help them keep their youngsters safe from harm. It will also offer a better understanding of how convicted sex offenders are looked after on release into communities by the police, probation and other statutory bodies alongside charities and the voluntary sector.
How will SMART Enough? work?
SMART Enough? will work together with all adults through schools and any other groups involving children and young people. We aim to improve the level of knowledge about sex offenders and how they operate by offering presentations, leaflets, and up to date information on this website, enabling better protections and preventions to be
put in place.

SMART Enough? is a Home Office paid for pilot being run by Stop it Now! UK and Ireland, the public campaigning arm of the child protection charity the Lucy Faithfull Foundation (LFF) . The aim of Stop it Now! is to stop child sexual abuse by encouraging abusers and potential abusers to seek help; to provide adults with the information they need to recognize worrying behaviour in themselves or others; and to give all adults the confidence to take responsible action when they suspect something is wrong. Stop It Now! UK and Ireland operates a confidential freephone helpline on 0808 1000 900 for people worried about their own sexual thoughts and feelings towards children; people worried about the sexual behaviour of others towards children; the parents and carers of young people with sexually worrying behaviour; and professionals needing help with difficult cases.
