What is the mandatory reporting duty?

The Crime and Policing Bill will introduce a new statutory duty for people in key roles to report child sexual abuse when they are made aware of it.

This new duty will implement one of the key recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).

There will also be a new criminal offence of obstructing an individual from making a report.

What does child sexual abuse mean?

Child sexual abuse is when a child is forced or persuaded to take part in sexual activities. It can be physical contact or non-contact, and happens online and offline. 

It affects children of all ages and from all backgrounds. Children may not always understand that what is happening is abuse. 

In these sessions, NSPCC safeguarding experts will cover what you must report.
