Outline of workshop: If we don’t understand how individuals sexually exploit children and groom the protective adults in their world we cannot effectively implement child safeguarding. Professionals who enhance their knowledge of offender behaviour can recognise situations where children might be at risk or engage more effectively with perpetrators, victims and their families. When we understand the complexity and subtleties of the problem we can better implement policies and procedures within our organisations and ensure effective safeguarding for all. Using video interviews with sex offenders this presentation provides insights into the motivations, thoughts and behaviours of child sex offenders.
What you will learn: Participants will take away a clearer understanding of child sexual abuse and the issues involved in identifying and managing PSB in children.
Prior knowledge required: No prior knowledge of sexually abusive behaviour will be required by participants.
