centre of expertise on child sexual abuse
Ilford
We are a multi-disciplinary team, funded by the Home Office, hosted by
Barnardo’s and work closely with key partners from academic institutions, local
authorities, health, education, police and the voluntary sector. To tackle child
sexual abuse we must understand its causes, scope, scale and impact. We know a
lot about child sexual abuse and have made progress in dealing with it, but
there are still many gaps in our knowledge and understanding which limit how
effectively we are tackling the issue.
