About the webinar
Sibling sexual harm is perhaps the most common form of intrafamilial sexual harm, yet cases involving sibling sexual abuse can be very challenging for practitioners and agencies including those in CAMHS, Education, Social Care and the Criminal Justice System. Sibling sexual abuse is often not disclosed in childhood and has a detrimental impact on all involved. Sibling sexual harm has the potential to be every bit as harmful as sexual abuse by a parent; it can have both short- and long-term consequences for the child’s physical and mental health, with outcomes for children affected and their families often being poor.
This workshop will outline current knowledge and evidence in the sibling sexual abuse field and look at how that knowledge can be used to inform how we positively support a family’s journey, from identification of harm, safety planning and assessment, through to therapeutic intervention, case closure and aftercare support. Consideration will be given to the needs of those impacted by sibling sexual harm with an illustrative case example provided.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop participants should be able to use the continuum of sexual behaviour to identify when sibling behaviour is harmful, understand common issues for children and families affected by sibling sexual abuse and have insight into approaches to assessment and intervention in this area of practice.
