Have you been affected by the recent television programme on Channel 4 about Intra Familial Child Sexual Abuse ?
The Children’s Commissioner Report ‘Protecting children from Harm‘, defines Intra-Familial child sexual abuse as:
‘Child sexual abuse perpetrated or facilitated in or out of the home, the family network, against a child under the age of 18, by a family member, or someone otherwise linked to the family context or environment, whether or not they are a family member. Within this definition, perpetrators may be close to the victim (e.g. father, uncle, stepfather), or less familiar (e.g. family friend, baby sitter)’.
If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse, no matter how long ago, and would like some support:
