Child Sexual Abuse - Consultation with the Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS)

Overview

This consultation survey is aimed at voluntary and community sector groups working in Redbridge with children, young people and families.  It is part of the work of the Redbridge Safeguarding Children Partnership (RSCP) in supporting agencies in the identification, protection and support of children at risk of sexual abuse within the family context, one of the priority areas for 2021 - 2022.

Why your views matter

It is widely accepted that safeguarding children is everyone's business, and depends on joint working across all sectors.  The RSCP would like to understand how groups within the voluntary and community sector feel that they are contributing to the identification, protection and support of children at risk of child sexual abuse and whether there are any gaps in terms of knowledge, skills or information that could be provided to help in this area.

The RSCP should be grateful if you or another person from your voluntary or community group (e.g. Safeguarding Lead) would complete the short survey.  The survey should take a maximum of 10 minutes.

What happens next

All the information provided in completed questionnaires will be collated and included in a report that will be presented to the RSCP in July 2021.

Collated anonymized information will also be shared with the RedbridgeCVS Executive Officer and Training Manager to inform support and training within the voluntary and community sector.
