Summary
This research aims to map geographically the provision of services for children and young people who have been sexually abused; identify the range of services available and any gaps in provision; and elicit the views of young people on aspects of service provision.
- The objectives of the project are to:
Map the current availability of therapeutic services for children and young people who have been sexually abused, raped or sexually exploited - Evaluate the accessibility and approachability of services to children and young people
- Consider the provision of services in relation to the identifiable demand and need
- Consult with young people about the services that exist and the types of services they want
- Consult with professionals working in therapeutic services about the accessibility of services, interagency working and how to deal with any areas of unmet need
The research is UK wide and the NSPCC is responsible for the overall management of the project. The University of Edinburgh/NSPCC Centre for UK-wide Learning in Child Protection is conducting the research in Scotland.
