Examines the barriers to progress in addressing childhood sexual abuse and considers the changes that are needed in order to prevent abuse occurring, and to better support survivors. From this starting point, the book puts forward radical suggestions for new models of practice. These are designed to provide perpetrator-focused child protection, to encourage community approaches to prevention, and to better support those who have survived abuse. As revelations of widespread child abuse continue to emerge at an unprecedented rate, this book campaigns for change, offering policy makers and practitioners solutions for new ways in tackling sexual abuse, working alongside survivors to reduce its prevalence and impact.
