70/30 endorsers

The 70/30 Network

We are a UK-wide network of individuals, organisations and elected representatives working together to reduce child abuse, neglect and other adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by at least 70% by the year 2030. We call this goal the 70/30 Campaign.

This ambitious, but feasible goal is necessary because at least half of children in the UK will suffer ACEs during their childhood.

The 70/30 Campaign was created after we received support from our partners and expert advisers who agreed that a 70% reduction is achievable if the right policies and actions are taken by decision-makers and those holding the purse strings. Join today so we can make this vision a reality.

70/30 endorsers

Over 400 MPs, mayors and local councillors and other elected officers have endorsed the 70/30 campaign. Supporters come from across the UK many working with the 70/30 Network to implement lasting change at both local and national level. 70/30 is non-partisan and therefore includes supporters from all political parties, including endorsers from MPs in the following parties:

Conservative: 93

Liberal Democrats: 8

Plaid Cymru: 4

Sinn Fein: 6

Green: 1

Labour: 132

SNP: 37

London Assembly: 18

DUP: 7

What is the TiC project?

WAVE Trust's Trauma-informed Communities (TiC) project will empower communities across the United Kingdom to build communities, strengthen local services and spread awareness about the science of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), resilience and how both affect all of our minds, bodies and life outcomes.
