Complex issues in supporting the participation rights of children and young people with lived experience of child sexual abuse and exploitation: practitioner briefing

Open access

Abstract

Our research highlighted a number of issues that require careful thought and consideration when supporting the participation of young survivors in decision-making processes or activities that seek to address the sexual abuse and exploitation of other young people. Four areas that were particularly notable were: • the potential for triggering • feelings of anger and frustration • public identity disclosure • compensating young survivors for their time and contributions We have produced this briefing to share what we found out about these complex issues – and to highlight that young people and professionals can have different views about them.
