Audience

This one day session is designed for social workers, family support workers and managers working in children's social care.

Aim

This workshop aims to increase confidence in recognising and responding to intra-familial child sexual abuse (IFCSA), developing skills in working with families experiencing trauma from this type of abuse.

You will hear what children have told us and look at best practice in recovery work and when to do direct work. We will also consider the impact of this work on the practitioner and the team.
