Supporting Child Protection Professionals Since 1979
To get the most out of what the AoCPP has to offer, why not join our multi-agency community of child protection and adult safeguarding professionals. We recognise the importance of building a network of people to learn from or exchange experiences with. 

So, as well as accessing resources, discounts and perks, our members have the opportunity to connect with fellow colleagues within child protection and adult safeguarding. 

Furthermore, our members are able to shape what we as an association do, whether that’s informing the events we hold or our response to government and policymakers, our members play a significant part in developing our association. 

We are confident that whether you are a student, a professional or an organisation - we have a membership package to suit you.
