Practices and responses that help or hinder disclosures of child sexual abuse: Perspectives from victim survivors and practitioners

Our research shows that a deeper understanding of CSA is required, which privileges the voices and lived experiences of victim survivors to inform contemporary practice frameworks underpinning practitioner responses.
