New resource - practice guide for workers and organisations

The National Office for Child Safety engaged the National Association of Services Against Sexual Violence (NASASV) in partnership with the Gendered Violence Research Network (GVRN) at UNSW, Sydney, to develop a practice guide for workers and organisations when engaging with victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

Engaging with victims and survivors of child sexual abuse: A practice guide for workers and organisations: An Australian Government initiative is intended to promote and support accessible, high-quality, trauma-informed services that support all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse of all ages and as their needs change over time. It builds off the NASASV Standards of Practice Manual for Services Against Sexual Violence (3rd Edition), refocused to services engaging with victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

The guide aims to assist all workers engaging with victims and survivors, including specialist sexual assault services, generalist service providers and other frontline organisations that engage with children, young people and adults. It is part of a suite of resources that the National Office is developing to support the sector.
