Training package to help teams understand what child sexual abuse is and how to respond

This two-day course, delivered by experts from the NSPCC, will help improve understanding and knowledge about child sexual abuse – including how to identify, prevent and respond to it.

What will teams learn?

The training uses case studies, small group activities and interactive tools to help professionals respond to child sexual abuse.

After completing the training, teams will be able to:

  • identify the types of child sexual abuse (CSA)
  • use appropriate language
  • understand the research base
  • determine ways to support most vulnerable groups at risk for CSA
  • identify the ways CSA can impact children, their families, and society
  • recognise, respond, report and record concerns
  • share best practice with others in your network.

Benefits of the course

  • Developed by experts in safeguarding and responding to Child Sexual Abuse
  • Personalised certificate of achievement and completion
  • If purchased as a region/team, we can provide pre- and post- training implementation support
  • Options for Train the Trainer model to locally train professionals across agencies
  • Once you’ve taken the course, it doesn’t stop there. We have a range of further information, training and resources to help you protect the children you work with
  • Income generated from the sale of our training courses is reinvested back into the NSPCC to help protect children.

This includes those working in:

  • children’s services

“I liked the 'feel' of the course, which the trainers encouraged to be open and engage in discussions. I like the mixture of information sharing, videos, discussions and real life stories.”
