Additional FREE E-learning for sexual abuse
A short, introductory eLearning course on Identifying and responding to intra-familial child sexual abuse has been designed by the CSA to help to recognise when children might be showing them that something is wrong and understand how to help.
The course is designed for anyone working with children to understand what intra-familial child sexual abuse is, provide guidance on how to identify concerns and build knowledge and confidence in how to respond to support both children and their wider family.
The introductory course takes just 90 minutes to complete, is entirely free and consists of three engaging modules, with interactive tasks, video explainers and a final assessment. It’s designed for professionals at all stages of their career; for those new to safeguarding, or as a helpful refresher. You can access the course eLearning - CSA Centre
