Caring For Sexually Abused Children Children’s Homes

Caring for children who have been sexually abused is demanding and challenging, and carers cannot be left to manage this alone. This course will enable carers to establish effective partnerships with young people, providing them with information they can understand and use and arranging for practical parenting support that directly relates to the needs of these children.

The main learning objectives of the course are as follows:

1. To know how to create a safe place for the child
2. To be able to recognise child sexual abuse
3. To understand the impact of sexual abuse
4. To understand how we can help children who have been sexually abused
5. To be aware of therapy and building resilience (including new material concerning the impact of trauma on children who have been sexually abused)

This course meets the Children’s Home Quality Standards as outlined in The Children’s Homes Regulations (England) 2015 and Children’s Homes Quality Standards 2015.

Upon booking this course, we will discuss the learning objectives and outcomes you wish to achieve based on the young people in your care.

We also have an advanced version, which is specifically for designated individuals or seniors.
