thirtyoneeight (Formerly - CCPAS Churches’ Child Protection Advisory Service)

thirtyoneeight, formally called CCPAS, is an independent Christian safeguarding charity. thirtyoneeight aims to help places of worship, faith groups, other organisations and families to create a safe environment for children and other vulnerable people and to respond appropriately to the needs of individuals who may have been abused or otherwise disadvantaged, for example through disability or social exclusion. thirtyoneeight provides direct help, guidance, support and training to individuals, including children, affected by abuse. The 24 hour helpline is staffed by social workers and counsellors who provide advice and support regarding, for example, past abuse or reoffending, allegations of abuse and best practice management of sex offenders at places of worship and elsewhere.
