National review into sexual abuse within the family environment
The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel has published a national review into child sexual abuse within the family environment.
The review analysed 136 serious child safeguarding incidents, and 41 related serious case reviews (SCRs) and local child safeguarding practice reviews (LCSPRs). It explores the specific challenges which feature in the identification, assessment, and response to child sexual abuse within the family environment. It sets out recommendations and findings for national government and local safeguarding partners to protect children at risk.
The BSCP Executive Board met on 27th November 2024, members discussed the report recommendations and will oversee the implementation of the local learning.
