3. Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) Factsheet
Back in March of this year the West Sussex
Safeguarding Children’s Board asked you to complete a survey around your
current knowledge and understanding around child sexual abuse (CSA). They had
over 200 responses and the majority told us that they wanted more resources and materials to improve their ability and
confidence in order to identify and tackle this aspect of safeguarding and
child protection.
They
have developed a CSA Factsheet which is now available on their website by
clicking here.
This resource can be used to refresh your knowledge as a professional, as a
tool for discussions in supervisions and team meetings or to expand your
current understanding of CSA.
