About the CPD course
This one-day course addresses the critical points that policing professionals need to understand so they can confidently recognise; and effectively deal with; child sexual abuse incidents and cases. It is aimed at both frontline officers and those in specialist PVP (Protecting Vulnerable People)/child protection roles.
The Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA) has been established to help bring about significant and system-wide change in how child sexual abuse is responded to locally and nationally. We will do this by identifying, generating and sharing high quality evidence of what works to prevent and tackle Child Sexual Abuse (including Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)), to inform both policy and practice.
We are encouraging all sectors and organisational levels to engage with us, so that we can understand the needs of frontline staff, commissioners and those with responsibility for producing strategic responses to child sexual abuse. Our initial focus is child sexual exploitation; however our remit over the longer-term covers all forms of child sexual abuse.
