An independent evaluation of a pilot project on child abuse linked to witchcraft and spirit possession.

A Trust for London grant to AFRUCA (Africans Unite Against Child Abuse) supported the one-year Dove Project, which was delivered in partnership with Newham Children & Young People’s Services and Newham Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services.

The project’s aims included:

  • increased support to victims and their families.
  • increased access to a range of services.

The evaluation was undertaken by The Social Innovation Partnership (TSIP).

This project grew out of the Trust’s five-year special initiative, Safeguarding Children’s Rights, which  supported community-based work to tackle child abuse linked to witchcraft and spirit possession.
