Together with our Festival Partner, The Flying Child, this year we consider what children and families who have experienced sexual abuse need from supportive education spaces. We invite survivors, researchers, practitioners, and creatives to join our community of strong and emerging voices. We believe we can use our collective power to make the change young people and families want to see.
Please see the attached Call for Content for details on how to apply to facilitate a workshop or panel. Deadline for submissions is 3rd of December.
Each year the festival highlights a key area chosen
by young people and families. We know that
disclosures of abuse are increasingly made in
school and wider education settings. Yet, young
people and families tell us that the response
received in these spaces needs to change.
Nationwide, there is much variation within
the education response to child sexual abuse.
Approaches differ within classrooms, schools,
colleges, and universities and this is creating
barriers to care. Practitioners are often worried
about how to respond to disclosures and families
are unclear about the support they can expect.
This year, our festival draws together the latest
research, innovations in best practice and
survivors’ voices so that we can consider together
how we can create supportive spaces for those in
education who have experienced sexual abuse.
We invite survivors, researchers, practitioners,
and creatives to join our community of strong
and emerging voices. We believe we can use
our collective power to make the change young
people and families want to see.
