About the CPD course
Working effectively with non-abusing parents and carers in cases of child sexual abuse is fundamental to the support and protection of children who are at risk of abuse or have been abused. This course will equip participants with an understanding of the issues facing non-abusing parents/carers whose child has been sexually abused within or outside the family (including by the other parent/carer); and best practice in engaging them in effective assessment and intervention.
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.
