At NAPAC, we believe that lasting change begins with listening to survivors, especially to those whose voices have too often gone unheard. This research hub brings together our position papers, briefing notes and insight reports, all driven by the experiences of adult survivors of childhood abuse.

Our work is uniquely informed by the largest anonymised dataset of its kind in the UK, drawn from thousands of contacts annually to our national support services. Many of those who reach out to NAPAC are disclosing abuse for the very first time. They provide vital insights into the needs, barriers and experiences of survivors who may never have come forward through formal systems.

We hold this information in strict confidence. All data is gathered ethically, anonymised and handled to the highest standards of privacy and safeguarding. We do not record calls. What we share through this research hub is insight, not personal detail. We do so to drive forward trauma-informed policies and practices.

These resources are designed for professionals across sectors including policing, health, government, social care and others working to improve responses to abuse, safeguard children and support those healing from trauma.

Whether you are seeking survivor-led perspectives on justice, practical guidance on safe engagement, or evidence to inform better systems, you’ll find it here.

Because change starts with understanding, and survivors deserve to be heard.
