The Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse (CSA Centre) and Barnardo’s SEEN have published a knowledge review on the sexual abuse of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage children in the UK.

The report examines existing research and looks at the nature of sexual abuse; the impact of child sexual abuse (CSA); barriers to disclosure and identification; service responses; and intersectionality. The review identifies learning and actions which could be applied to practice and highlights the limitations and gaps in the research base.
