Research shows that different forms of child maltreatment often co-occur, including child sexual abuse (CSA) and children’s exposure to adult domestic violence (DV). However, the extent of this co-occurrence remains poorly understood. This article presents findings from a scoping review of articles reporting prevalence data for co-occurring CSA and DV.
This journal article presents findings from a scoping review of articles reporting prevalence data for co-occurring CSA and DV.
The study explored practices and responses that enable or hinder disclosures of CSA, in order to enhance service system responses.
This guide is designed for anyone working in child protection, policy, practice, education, healthcare, research, justice or communications. It provides victim and survivor-informed language and definitions that are respectful, inclusive and trauma-informed.
Professor Michael Salter is criminologist and internationally recognised expert on child sexual exploitation and will present recent findings.
This session examined current research on child sexual exploitation and its implications for policy and practice. It outlined strategies for prevention and support, with an emphasis on strengthening system responses to the complex needs of survivors.
The fact sheet examines the overlap of domestic and family violence (DFV) and child sexual abuse (CSA). Rates of co-occurrence vary widely. The review identifies challenges, such as inconsistent definitions and reliance on nonrepresentative samples, highlighting the need for more detailed studies to identify perpetrators and improve targeted policies and services.
This systematic review consolidates evidence surrounding barriers, facilitators, and predictors of disclosure likelihood and timing in boys and men following sexual trauma (i.e., sexual abuse, assaults, and coercion).
Through the qualitative lens of interviews with children, young people, and parents, the study highlights the ways in which survivors and their families experience and navigate the initial response system and identify areas where improvements can be made.
