E-learning Course delivered by Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse
Victims and survivors of intra-familial child sexual abuse can and do recover from their abuse, especially when supported by professionals who are trained to best support them and their families.
The CSA Centre’s first e-learning course, Identifying and responding to intra-familial child sexual abuse, takes just 90 minutes to complete, is entirely free and consists of three engaging modules, with interactive tasks, video explainers and a final assessment. It’s designed for professionals at all stages of their career; for those new to safeguarding, or as a helpful refresher.

Courses are free of charge to partner agencies and those associated with the Durham Safeguarding Children Partnership including those within the Voluntary and Charitable Sector.
