We were commissioned to evaluate the Protecting Parents Across Communities programme (PPAC), which was run by the Lucy Faithfull Foundation from June 2009 to June 2012. PPAC aimed to develop opportunities to work with non-English speaking communities to prevent child sexual abuse (CSA).
We’ve published two reports about the findings from our evaluation. The first, Working with a community to prevent child sexual abuse in the home, explores what we learned about developing an approach to preventing CSA with members of a particular community.
The second, Four steps to the prevention of child sexual abuse within the home, explains how professionals can help mothers within a specific community to reduce the risk of CSA in the home.
Although these reports are about work done with the Somali community, the findings are helpful for anyone who’s interested in developing preventative approaches with a community.
