This important In Conversation discussion brings together insights from research, cultural, practice experts and lived experience to explore the intersection of family violence and child sexual abuse.
The Australian Child Maltreatment Study found that child sexual abuse often co-occurs within the context of other forms of abuse and maltreatment including exposure to family violence.
This In Conversation webinar unpacks:
- How does exposure to family violence increase a child’s vulnerability to experiencing sexual abuse?
- How are children at risk or experiencing sexual abuse identified and prioritised within the context of family violence policy and service responses?
- How can we take a more integrated approach to protecting and responding to children who experience child sexual abuse and family violence?
