Description & Learning objectives

Young people who have been affected by CSE, or targeted for grooming by a sex offender, are often expected to disclose a lot of information about their lives, histories, friends, sexual health – and the abuse they have experienced.

It should be understood as completely rational for a child to close down and refuse to tell a professional anything about themselves – and yet it leaves many wondering what they could have done differently or why the child doesn’t trust them. This course will take professionals through the experiences of children, the experiences of professionals, and the evidence surrounding disclosure, rapport-building, and the barriers to relationship-building.

Professionals will learn the most common barriers to rapport-building, why children should not be expected to disclose, and how to avoid strategies that mirror the behaviours and techniques of the sex offender.

The learning objectives are as follows:

  • To understand the barriers children face in disclosure, trusting adults, and engaging with services after CSE
  • To know the reasons why children cannot disclose or engage 
  • To be aware of child-centred techniques, participation, and basic counselling skills to help children to feel comfortable talking about their exploitation and trauma

This course is CPD accredited and adheres to the training, support and development standards outlined in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011. It is also tailored to where you live in the UK, adhering to each country’s own individual regulators - namely: Ofsted, The Care Inspectorate (Wales), The Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).

If you have 5 or more learners who require this training, you might like to consider our face-to-face option instead. 

Because each of our courses is created by a specialist within this sector, we have the expertise to tailor any course to your specific needs. You can even arrange for your own documentation policies or procedures to be included in your Learning Management System.
