Research

Research is fundamental to our work to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. Through research, we develop effective strategies, inform public policy and provide the best support and interventions for individuals and families.

We invest in studies, collaborate with academic institutions, and support innovation in prevention and intervention methods. Our dedication to research ensures that we remain at the forefront of the fight against child sexual abuse, continually improving our practices and expanding our knowledge. 

Evidence-based interventions: by understanding what works and what doesn’t, we can tailor our programmes to be as effective as possible. This evidence-based approach ensures that our services are grounded in the latest and most reliable data, providing a strong foundation for our work in preventing abuse.

Understanding trends and patterns: by analysing these trends, we can better understand the evolving nature of abuse, including emerging threats and high-risk groups.  This insight is crucial for developing proactive strategies to protect children.

Informing policy and advocacy: by providing policymakers with accurate, up-to-date information, we can influence legislation and policies that protect children. Our research findings help shape national and international discourse on child protection.

Improving training and education: by incorporating the latest findings into our training , we make sure that people working with children are equipped with the most current knowledge and best practices.

Fostering collaboration: by sharing our findings and learning from others, we leverage the strengths of different sectors to collectively prevent child sexual abuse. This collaborative and cross-disciplinary approach amplifies our impact and drives innovation.
