The NSPCC has shared proposals to reshape parts of the organisation.
These changes are part of our Delivering our Future programme,which aims to strengthen our foundations and ensure we can continue to protect children for generations to come.
The proposals include changes to staffing structures and ways of working. While we’ve worked hard to minimise the impact on services, some roles are regrettably at risk of redundancy. A formal consultation with affected staff is underway.
An NSPCC spokesperson said:
"The NSPCC has a proud history of protecting children in the UK but like many other charities, we have not been immune to the challenges facing our sector. To ensure our work continues long into the future and that we can make an even greater impact we must invest in our future, confront economic challenges head on and focus our efforts so that we’re able to make the greatest difference in keeping children safe.
Following a comprehensive review we have put forward proposals for some very challenging decisions around the size and shape of our workforce and the services we provide, including ending some time-limited local initiatives. From September, we will enter a period of consultation with impacted staff.
We understand how difficult this will be for those affected, along with the impact on the wider NSPCC family. We are working with those impacted by these proposals to ensure that they are fully supported through every step of this process.
Everyone that works for, volunteers with and supports the NSPCC does so to change the lives of children, protecting them from abuse and neglect. Our work is only made possible by the commitment of our staff and the generosity of our supporters and volunteers, and we are incredibly grateful for their ongoing support. While these are tough decisions, we believe these proposals to be the right ones to make sure the NSPCC is here for children and young people for generations to come."
