The Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse has created the resources which are relevant for colleagues working in England and Wales.
They include guidance on communicating with children, parents, and carers as well as a safety planning in education guide on harmful sexual behaviour. There are three guides:
Communicating with children: Provides guidance on how professionals should respond when they have concerns of sexual abuse, what to say and avoid, building an understanding of context, how to support children and advice on responding to harmful sexual behaviour at school.
Communicating with parents and carers: Designed to help professionals understand more about how child sexual abuse affects parents and carers and their children, so that they can support them effectively. Understandably, many teachers say they find it hard to talk to parents when there are concerns, this guide helps to support conversations of this kind and build confidence.
