Synopsis
Offering tried and tested approaches for work with safe carers of children who have been sexually abused - principally but not exclusively mothers - this workbook allows you to adapt and evolve its framework during both the investigative and recovery stages of their individual experiences, including: setting the scene; understanding the carer's position and creating a supportive environment; providing a framework for the carer to understand sexual abuse; helping the carer to consider these issues in relation to their own situation; and addressing the future including consideration of issues around safe care - especially if a family wants to consider reunification. Exercises are provided that should be undertaken in all assessments, regardless of the carer's starting position, to help inform their thinking, provide them with useful information, and make some sense of what has happened. Additional exercises are included for carers who are perhaps stuck on particular issues. Workers can choose which exercises are suitable for the carer they are working with.
