Chain Breakers Appeal Launched
The UK recently celebrated the bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act although there are many today who are still enslaved by sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. As NCAP works to address this we would ask whether you could stand together with us in offering freedom and change to the thousands of people caught up in prostitution. We are looking for 200 people to respond. For more information please see 200ChainBreakers.pdf
Press Release - Good Practice Guide launched - Monday 11th February 2008
The National Christian Alliance on Prostitution (NCAP) has launched a Good Practice Guide for local community projects and organisations supporting individuals involved in prostitution.
There are an estimated 80,000 people involved in prostitution in the UK. For many years communities have been responding to the needs of those being sexually exploited in their towns and cities. Churches and local people have formed small groups of volunteers and taken to the streets, often with very few resources. They have listened to the stories, taken risks, grown in numbers and reflected on their experiences. Many were advised by those working in prostitution themselves on what their needs were. As a result a wide variety of services have been developed, from drop ins, street outreach, prison outreach, court diversion schemes, day centres, home visits, safe houses, counselling services and rehabilitation support.
The Good Practice Guide has been developed by practitioners who originally got together in the mid 1990s to support each other in their work, exchange ideas and share information. The Guide captures their shared knowledge gained over many years in the hope that it will help other projects build the capability they need to deliver their services as effectively as possible. NCAP now has over 700 staff and volunteers who are affiliated to the network and who work together to offer freedom and change for those caught in prostitution.
Ann Morisy (author, speaker and former Director of the Commission on Urban Life and Faith) agrees “This has to be one of the most thorough, accessible and engaging good practice guides on the market, and to add to this, it probably represents the best value that is to be had. There is a host of experience and knowledge supported by lots of examples and explanations. This good practice manual speaks of deep generosity from the NCAP network, with people sharing their hard won expertise for the benefit of others. This manual really does cover everything that a project / organisation needs to know, and the layout is a model of clarity and accessibility. This manual has been designed specifically for those working with people caught-up in prostitution but its relevance and usefulness is far wider - even the most experienced practitioners will find themselves being drawn in to the material that is presented. This publication is real gift to the faith-related social action sector.”
