Child sexual abuse of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage children: A knowledge review

This review commissioned by the CSA Centre and Barnardo’s SEEN draws on 79 publications, based on 59 separate research projects, and four focus group sessions with African, Asian and Caribbean heritage academics, professionals and experts by experience. It explores the nature of sexual abuse, its impacts, the barriers that prevent children talking about it, and how concerns about it are identified and responded to, both within communities and by services. It recommends further research to inform and drive improvements.
