Our story begins during a child abuse seminar in 1985 during which the presenter called upon the audience to ‘make a pact to protect all children, today.’
Two detective sergeants, David Jefferies and Dugald MacMillan, took this message to heart. They approached Kay McGrath, the well-known TV presenter who was covering the seminar for her TV channel and together they decided to create a community-based organisation promoting child protection. PACT was officially formed in Kay’s house, as she, David and Dugald signed the paperwork to create an organisation called Protect All Children Today.
