Violence and abuse must be stopped.
Eighteen And Under, in addition to offering support services, is dedicated to the prevention of all forms of violence and abuse.
We offer a range of resources, workshops and training to increase the personal safety of young people, children and other vulnerable groups.
Our V.I.P programme has been evaluated by independent researchers at the University of Dundee. When delivered in a school setting it was found to be highly effective in increasing young people's personal safety skills and enabling young people to disclose abuse.

V.I.P is also endorsed by the New Philanthropy Capital, and Eighteen And Under are members of the World Health Organisation's Violence Prevention Alliance.

Resources that you can useWe have a wide range of resources suitable for all ages.
Our resources consist of books games video clips and are designed to be flexible and accessible. The resources have been continuously developed over the last 20 years by Eighteen And Under along with various partners including police, fire service, local authorities, education departments, schools and universities.

workshops for young people and childrenIf you are near us we can offer free delivery of our evidence based programme in your school or setting.
The independent research carried out on V.I.P showed that anyone can use the resources effectively to increase personal safety - but the biggest benefits were seen when it was delivered by our team. This is due to the 'prevention mindset' our accredited workers have and the advantage of having someone less known to the young people deliver the session.
