Thursday 30th January 2025

- 09.15 till 16.30

This free course is for anyone who works with Children and Families who would benefit from being able to recognise, assess/refer and support children who are or are suspected of suffering from child sexual abuse which takes place in the family home.  This course includes discussion around sibling abuse as well as looking at the impact of the abuse on all members of the family.
