“Is this sexual abuse?”<br />
NSPCC, April <strong>2018</strong><br />
The NSPCC wanted to find out more<br />
about how to support children and<br />
young people who have experienced<br />
peer sexual abuse, so they undertook<br />
an analysis of the concerns being<br />
raised by those who contact the<br />
NSPCC helpline and Childline.<br />
The report looks at how peer sexual<br />
abuse takes place; the impact it has<br />
on young people’s lives; how best<br />
to provide support after peer sexual<br />
abuse; and how to prevent it from<br />
happening.<br />

Journey to justice: prioritising<br />
the wellbeing of children<br />
involved in criminal justice<br />
processes relating to sexual<br />
exploitation and abuse.<br />
Hannah Marsden Online report,<br />
2017 Barnardo’s<br />
The report explores Barnardo’s role in<br />
supporting the wellbeing of children<br />
and young people who are victims or<br />
witnesses of child sexual exploitation<br />
(CSE) in the police investigation and<br />
prosecution process. The report<br />
draws on data from a literature review,<br />
interviews with children and young<br />
people, and parents and carers; and<br />
interviews and focus groups with CSE<br />
practitioner and other professionals.<br />
The key findings include: the<br />
importance of one-to-one support<br />
from an independent, voluntary sector<br />
specialist worker for the promotion<br />
of children and young people’s<br />
wellbeing; children and young people<br />
require support both in relation to an<br />
active police investigation or trial, and<br />
in relation to ongoing risks of sexual<br />
exploitation and abuse that they may<br />
have faced. To access the 116 page<br />
