About the CPD course
The purpose of the Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Practice Leads Programme is to drive and support broad system change in safeguarding organisations’ response to child sexual abuse. It is an acclaimed training programme involving taught and structured reflective learning sessions; with unique access to the latest research and resources. The programme aims to build the confidence and competence of safeguarding professionals in managing child sexual abuse cases by developing the knowledge and skills of individual practitioners.
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.
