This Caring for a Child who has been Sexually Abused course serves as your first step towards gaining expertise in this specialised area. Furthermore, all care practitioners must identify and comprehend the signs of both healthy and inappropriate sexual development.

This training course emphasises positive sexual development and behaviours for those caring for a sexually abused child. Moreover, we recognise that all children and young people develop at their own pace. Therefore, our course ensures that social care professionals can advise on keeping every child safe, regardless of their age. It also covers how to identify worrying signs and what actions to take if sexual abuse occurs.

Furthermore, everyone working with children and young people must understand the process of sexual development and the impact of child sexual abuse. This course not only explains how to work effectively to promote healthy sexual development but also enables learners to build the confidence and skills necessary to manage issues related to sexual abuse.

This course will cover:

• What is child sexual abuse and who are the abusers
• The impact of child sexual abuse on development and attachment relationships
• How child sexual abuse can affect brain development
• Caring for a child who has been sexually abused
• Helping a child to recover from sexual abuse
• Taking care of yourself

By the end of the training, you will:

• Understand how to promote positive sexual health and sexual identity
• Know about effective interventions in working with children and young people who have been sexually abused

This Caring For A Child Who Has Been Sexually Abused course is designed for people who want to understand the signs of healthy and inappropriate sexual development. Whilst it provides focus for people working in Children's Services, it will also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to know more about understanding the process of sexual development and the impact of child sexual abuse.
