ESSCP FREE Training – Identifying the Sexual Abuse of Children – 19/11/2026, 10-15:00 via MS Teams

There are spaces available on the upcoming FREE course: ESSCP Identifying the Sexual Abuse of Children 19.11.2026, 10:00 a.m. – 15:00pm via MS Teams.

This training is delivered by subject matter experts from Children’s Services and Health.

This important area of Safeguarding has been highlighted as a priority area of learning for all professionals, following findings from National and Local Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews.

Identifying the Sexual Abuse of Children:

Findings from a National review into child sexual abuse within the family environment uncovered ‘significant and long-standing issues. Children who are sexually abused by someone in their family are frequently not being identified by practitioners, nor are they receiving the response needed for their ongoing safety and recovery. Child sexual abuse in the family environment has been allowed to thrive in secrecy and silence for far too long’

In East Sussex we have had a recent Safeguarding Practice Review with findings that fit with recommendations from the National Review and an essential first step in addressing gaps in knowledge and practice is to attend training on this important subject.
