The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel has published a national review into child sexual abuse within the family environment.

The report draws on rapid reviews and serious case reviews featuring intrafamilial child sexual abuse; interviews with children who had been sexually abused; interviews with people who had sexually abused a child; and group discussion with practitioners, senior leaders and people with lived experience of child sexual abuse.

The report highlights the importance of hearing children’s voices, understanding the needs of parents, recognising the signs of child sexual abuse and responding effectively.
