Working with Families Following Disclosures of Child Sexual Abuse/ Exploitation

I often find that Social Workers and other professionals do not feel skilled in this area of work, and are anxious about how to approach families; they worry about making things worse, and often have little to no training in this area of work. This training meets you where you are and aims to enable you to feel more confident in your work with children and families following a disclosure of sexual abuse or exploitation. It is hoped that you will feel more competent in your knowledge and skills in assessing each family’s own specific situation, and supporting them at this difficult and sensitive time.
