Course Overview
There are many different types of abuse and although all of these types are considered unacceptable by society, sexual abuse of children and young people is one which stands out as being particularly disturbing and upsetting.
Research by the NSPCC identified that 1 in 20 children have experienced sexual abuse, and 90% of those were abused by someone they knew. The research also identified that 1 in 3 children who experienced sexual abuse by an adult did not tell anyone about it.
This training course provides the knowledge and skills required to support children and young people who have been sexually abused and challenge this sensitive subject in a way which includes learners in a way which they feel comfortable and focuses on a positive approach to providing support. This is a Level 3 accredited course.
