Proposal for a community based perpetrator, primary caregiver and child victim sexual risk assessment tool: The Sexual Allegation Form Evaluating Risk (SAFER)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a pervasive and underreported issue (Stoltenborgh et al. 2015). It can impact on every area of a child’s development including short and long term emotional, cognitive, behavioural, physical, social and sexual difficulties (NSPCC, 2015). Given the disparity between the prevalence of CSA, underreported incidents and low rate of successful conviction (Lepper, 2012) more effective methods of assessment are required.
