Sibling sexual abuse is believed to be the most common and
long-lasting form of all intra-familial abuse, with estimates
suggesting that it is five times more prevalent than parent-child
sexual abuse. This book draws on unique research from two studies
which examine the nature, impact and response to sibling sexual
abuse in England and Wales. Given the complex and underreported
nature of sibling sexual abuse there are questions surrounding
whether current interventions are appropriate in helping
victims/survivors, children and young people who have been harmed
and their families. There is growing evidence that highlights a
lack of appropriate practitioner guidance and training which then
leads to insufficient support, impacting negatively on long term
outcomes. This book offers significant findings for policy,
practice, and community engagement. It is written by authors with
that have expertise in criminology, psychology, public health,
social science, social work and also front-line practitioner
experience.
