A road show is set to travel to towns across Wales as part of a major campaign to tackle child sexual abuse.

Co-ordinated by Stop it Now! Wales, the ‘Talk About It’ Tour aims to raise awareness of the scale of child sexual abuse and calls on parents and carers to act to protect children from abuse.

Launching on Saturday 14th November 2009 at Clwyd Theatre Cymru in Mold, the Talk About It Tour will visit 5 different locations with stands across North, West and South Wales to mark Child Abuse Prevention Education Week and World Child Abuse Prevention Day on November 19th.

Stop it Now! Wales National Manager, Rebecca Wasinski, said:

"We know that children who are sexually abused find it very difficult to speak out. We are therefore urging all parents to take positive action by starting to talk about this issue, helping to equip their children with the skills they need to protect themselves from this kind of abuse".

The Talk About it Tour is due to visit the following places:

Offering a range of printed information and resources about how to protect children from sexual abuse, Stop it Now! will also be providing the Welsh public with an opportunity to sign up to their postcard petition.

Information on the Stop it Now! UK & Ireland confidential helpline on 0808 1000 900 will also be available.
