Child sexual abuse research at Fresh Start

The NSPCC centre for action on child sexual abuse

The Fresh Start research programme focuses on the causes and consequences of child sexual abuse and what makes it stop.

Fresh Start researchers work closely with NSPCC practitioners and professionals. We tap into relevant academic research through consultation and collaboration to help us to respond to the challenge of preventing child sexual abuse in the 21st century.
