In Conversation – Child sexual abuse and the impacts to and within the family system

Challenge 1 and 3 in Here for Change, the National Centre’s Five Year Strategy, highlights that children, young people and adults with experiences of child sexual abuse (or their parents or carers) are often not identified, protected or well supported when they raise concerns or disclose.

Moderated by the National Centre, this In Conversation discussion brings together lived experience with insights from research, cultural and practice experts to explore the impacts of child sexual abuse within the family system and how these shape the responses and support victims and survivors receive.

The webinar will unpack:

• The different experiences of families following a disclosure of child sexual abuse
• What can impact on a caregiver or family member believing the disclosure
• What is important for practitioners to know and do when supporting families following a disclosure
