Let’s Talk Health and Care Podcast Episode #7: Preventing the unthinkable: The Public Health approach to preventing child sex abuse
In this episode, we are joined by Professor Kieran McCartan, Professor of Criminology here at UWE Bristol, and an expert in applying public health strategies. Our focus in this episode is exploring a subject that is as challenging as it is crucial: the prevention of child sex abuse. Child sex abuse affects more children than most people realise and highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention strategies is the focus of this episode.
Trigger warning: This podcast episode mentions the sexual abuse of children in the context of how we work together to prevent it. It affects all communities, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 7 boys worldwide. Talking about child sexual abuse is important and part of the solution. If listening to the podcast has affected you and speaking to someone would help or if you simply want to learn more, the NSPCC website is a good place to start, please go to www.nspcc.org.uk/
