This paper helps professionals think through the issues and challenges raised by sibling sexual abuse. It presents an overview of the current research and practice knowledge, covering sexual behaviour between siblings, the scale and nature of sibling sexual abuse, the impact of sibling sexual abuse and professional responses to sibling sexual abuse

A report aimed at professionals involved in advising and referring children, young people and families, so they can better understand the role and purpose of a medical examination in situations where child sexual abuse has been disclosed or is suspected. In addition to showing how medical examinations can obtain evidence of abuse and provide broader health and wellbeing benefits (by identifying a range of unmet physical and mental health needs), the report reviews the limited evidence on how medical examinations are experienced by victims/survivors of child sexual abuse.
