In demand: therapeutic services for children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse.
Summary: Reports on an NSPCC study into the estimated need for services across the UK for sexually abused children and young people. Findings include: low specialist service provision with need outstripping availability; limited referral routes; significant waiting lists necessitating more reactive than preventive work; and less accessibility for teenagers, children with disabilities and those from Black, Asian, minority ethnic and refugee groups. The need for training, and the commissioning of services to meet the shortfall in provision is identified.
