Introduction

When we consider how to support those who have been impacted by sexual abuse whether directly as a victim or a family member of a victim, a professional or a member of the public, our thinking is socially constructed regarding those that have offended mostly in a negative way. Yet the research informs us that to fully understand and prevent sexual abuse we must understand the dynamics of sexual abuse from the lens of those that have caused the abuse.

This workshop aims to educate, challenge and consider how to break the cycle of abuse by working with this client group and deepen our understanding of Mandatory Reporting.
