Dealing with Child Sexual Abuse

Half Day Workshop – under development

Why is the LSCB providing this course?

This offer is an important addition to our programme, following on from our successful day long conference when the issues with regard to child sexual abuse, were highlighted. We are maintaining our attention by running these half day workshops with a specific focus on subjects such as ABE – the interviewing of children.
