This is an entry level course so less suitable for professionals with significant experience in this area. It will be helpful to those who work directly with survivors and perpetrators of child sexual abuse, where there has been an allegation or conviction. It will also be of use to those whose role includes safeguarding responsibilities.

Through increasing knowledge of the offending process, delegates will be better equipped to understand prevention strategies.

The training will also equip delegates with knowledge of grooming, signs of grooming and warning signs of child sexual abuse.

  • The scale of the problem of both online and ‘contact’ sexual abuse
  • Models for understanding the motives and processes of men who abuse
  • The relationship between internet-related and ‘contact’ sexual offending
  • Stages of grooming
  • Warning signs of child sexual abuse in children and adults
  • The impact of abuse on victim/survivors
  • Preventing child sexual abuse
