Kairika Karsna
Senior Research and Evaluation Officer, the Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre)
Kairika has been involved in the CSA Centre’s research on the scale and nature of child sexual abuse for the past five years. She has been a co-author of the CSA Centre evidence reviews of the scale and nature of child sexual abuse with Prof. Liz Kelly since the first edition published in 2017. In addition to analysing data on the scale and nature of child sexual abuse, her work has focused on improving data on child sexual abuse, both in agency records and surveys. Prior to joining the CSA Centre, Kairika spent 10 years as a researcher and evaluator of charity and public sector services either as a consultant or an in-house researcher.
I think Child Abuse Review has gone from strength to strength and is of a consistently high standard. We have held numerous events that have been inspiring and enabling, such as the most recent Congresses and the Trainer's conference and award ceremony, the seminars to disseminate lessons from Serious Case Reviews. As resources get ever tighter, professionals have fewer and fewer opportunities to come together to exchange ideas and to learn together. We move more and more into silos because of work pressures. This is not the way to keep children safe. Association of Child Protection Professionals is needed to bring people concerned about child protection together to learn, to think, to shape policy and practice and to disseminate research. No-one else does this.
