SSP Safeguarding theme October 2024 - Child Sexual Abuse

13th Oct 2024

This month Swindon Safeguarding Partnership is raising awareness of Child Sexual Abuse.

Child sexual abuse has a long-term impact on the child lasting well into adulthood and potentially causing physical and psychological problems later in life (Source: The impacts of child sexual abuse). 

This type of abuse is one of the most difficult for children, young people and adults to speak about and for family members and professionals to identify, and often remains hidden even in plain sight (Source: Truth Project - IICSA Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse).

Sexual abuse is just as common as other forms of childhood abuse. Children who have been sexually abused may display a range of emotional and behavioural reactions which professionals should be alert to (Source: Effects |-The National Child Traumatic Stress Network).

We have provided some information and resources for you to raise awareness of this theme.
