This paper examines the concept of disclosure, specifically when an adult shares their experience of child sexual abuse or discusses events from their childhood.
The CHANGE Children’s Feedback Tool was developed as part of the Children’s Voices for Change research project. The project was informed by the insights, ideas and experiences of children and young people as family violence experts by experience. The tool aims to address gaps between practice and children and young people’s experience of family violence services. This tool is practical and interactive, for practitioners, organisations and government agencies who work with children and young people who have experienced family violence.
This three-hour, fee-based course offers an in-depth exploration of how children and young people disclose sexual abuse, the challenges they face, and best practices for responding with compassion and competence.
