| dc.description.abstract | This Desk Guide seeks to shift the focus on preventing and addressing CSA away from a seemingly endless series of discrete rules towards the achievement of overarching goals. We present a core set of rational principals that flow from a unified framework and that can help guide the development of individualized protocols to best meet local needs by addressing local risks with strategies that are feasible in a local context. We recognize that much of what we propose is already reflected in many organizations’ policies and practices. Indeed, this work was informed by several organizations’ CSA-focused efforts. Our hope is that this Desk Guide increases the coherence and reduces the complexity of organizations’ CSA prevention efforts. While our focus is on CSA, we recognize there is substantial overlap in risk factors for CSA and other types of child abuse, neglect, and unintentional injury. We believe that efforts to prevent and address CSA will enhance the prevention of other form of child maltreatment and injury as well. Adverse childhood events, including different types of child abuse and neglect, are causally related to one another ,and any effort that successfully reduces one form of harm, such as child sexual abuse, will likely be associated with reductions in other forms of harm. | en_US |
