This talk will draw out insights for practitioners from a recently completed knowledge review of the research evidence on the sexual abuse of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage children. The talk will provide a brief outline of the shape of the current literature and then hone in two key contexts that inhibit reporting and effective service responses: racism/racialisation and family/communal pressure. The talk will encourage a discussion of how to improve service responses.
Opportunity to network with others and know I am part of a community of people committed to working for children and families; challenge to keep up to date and evidence-informed in my practice; sounding board with others for considering how best to improve policy and practice
