AIM

The training aims to raise awareness about the risks that child sexual abusers pose to children and when to refer concerns for a risk assessment. The focus is on recognising signs, patterns and behaviour that cause concerns and referral pathways to children’s social care.

They have extensive experience of working with entire families who have been affected by sexual abuse, including young people with inappropriate sexual behaviours (male and female); victims of abuse and other family members. They also run the confidential Stop it Now! Helpline.
