New strategy 'a golden opportunity' to tackle child sexual abuse
A new strategy to protect children from all forms of child sexual abuse has been published by the Government today.
The Tackling Child Sexual Abuse Strategy pledges to end the previous culture of denial, and sets out how the Government will use new legislation and enhanced technology to catch offenders.
Under the strategy, the Government will work closely with local authorities to respond to threats within their communities and collect higher quality data on offenders.
Funding will also be given for The Children’s Society’s Prevention Programme initiative to support local areas to improve their response to exploitation.
