Ivison Trust Information

Ivison Trust (formerly Pace) is a national charity, based in Leeds, that works alongside parents and carers of children who are – or are at risk of being – sexually or criminally exploited by offenders outside of the family. We offer guidance and training to professionals on how exploitation affects the whole family. Ivison Trust seeks to: - Enable parents and carers to safeguard their children from being exploited. - Provide evidence and specialist advice to demonstrate to partners that parents and carers are an essential safeguarding resource. - Work with parents and partners to disrupt and bring perpetrators to justice. - Influence national and local policy and practice to reflect the active safeguarding role of parents and the impact on families of child exploitation. - Sustain long term change by training partners in the active role of parents and carers safeguarding their children Pace is the name for the charity formerly known as CROP, the Coalition for the Removal of Pimping. CROP was founded by Irene Ivison and a number of supporting parents in 1996 following the murder of Irene's daughter, who was forced into prostitution by a pimp.
