Skilled facilitators use engaging and interactive materials, including case examples, and discuss:

different patterns and styles of male sexual offending against children
how this knowledge helps to understand a carer’s responses during abuse and after disclosure
the implications for assessing carers’ future likelihood of keeping children safe from sexual abuse.
