About us

Since we were founded in 2017, the CSA Centre has sought to improve the understanding of and response to child sexual abuse.

 

Funded by the Home Office and hosted by Barnardo’s, our team collates and analyses existing research, policy, practice, and the experiences of survivors, to allow us to fill the gaps with new research, insights and analysis.

With a multi-disciplinary team, we then use that evidence and insight to develop new approaches and apply learning in practice through training and resources.

 

By professionals, researchers, policymakers, businesses and communities working together, we believe that we can tackle child sexual abuse.
