	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2020 answer text <p>We are committed to tackling all forms of child sexual abuse.</p><p>The Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse provides practical support to commissioners and frontline professionals across local authorities, police, health services and the voluntary sector; embedding what works to prevent and tackle child sexual abuse, for all groups of children, into practice. This includes looking into additional barriers to identification, such as age, disability, sexuality or ethnicity.</p><p>We have worked with the College of Policing, providing £1.9m of funding to develop a more comprehensive package of training for first responders, so they are better able to identify signs of vulnerability and provide support to victims. We have also funded the police’s own Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme to develop policing best practice in response to vulnerability as a whole. We are also working with the police to strengthen their response to vulnerability through multi-agency safeguarding partnerships. The partnerships will lead to better protection for all vulnerable children and young people, through clearer strategic decision-making and sharing of expertise across safeguarding agencies.</p><p>We are determined that all children who experience sexual abuse, regardless of age, background, or disability can access the support they need to help them in their recovery. We have recently launched a CSA support service transformation fund which will promote best practice and improve the quality of support to children from diverse backgrounds. We have also published guidance for commissioners of CSA support services which underlines the importance of commissioning services that meet the needs of all children in the local community who have experienced sexual abuse.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 30/07/2020 08:06:30 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
