Sexual Abuse and Violence Awareness Week
Summary
The week aims to generate discussion and empower victims to send out a clear message the UK says about sexual abuse and violence: “It’s not OK”. You will be unlikely to be able to affect people’s choice of partners and associates for example, you cannot be with the children 24/7 and you cannot step into the role of a law enforcement officer or social worker either. It’s impossible to run in-person events during current lockdown restrictions, however, you can add banners to your social media sites to raise awareness, and/or hold a virtual information session for parents, staff and other interested members of your community. You can use the NSPCC PANTS information page where you’ll find advice on how to talk to children about sexual abuse, resources and a catchy “Pantosaurus” song. It is non-statutory advice which is aimed at helping practitioners identify child abuse and neglect and take appropriate action in response and should be read in conjunction with the statutory guidance document, “Working Together to Safeguard Children (2015)” and subsequent annual updates.
