Through skilling up staff and volunteers to be better informed, more competent, and self-aware, the training will improve service delivery effectiveness, leading to better outcomes for all. This will ultimately lead to more discussion around the issue of child sexual abuse and an increased likelihood that other families will come forward. Mosac receives calls everyday from protective parents and carers whose children have been sexually abused. They often come to us feeling ignored or let down by Social Services, Family Court, and other services. Our clients have described the period of navigating the statutory agencies as being as traumatic as the initial disclosure of abuse. In our response to the Ministry of Justice Call for Evidence (2019), 71% of families affected by Child Sexual Abuse said that if they had their time again, they would not come forward. This project focus on improving the understanding and practice of professionals who work with families who have been impacted by Child Sexual Abuse. For families, this improved practice will result in improved recovery for families, decrease in the impact of the abuse, improved health and wellbeing of families as they navigate the system.
