Abstract
This paper presents the findings from an evaluation of education and awarenessraising programmes delivered by Stop it Now! Wales, aimed at engaging
parents, carers and professionals in an informed discourse about Child Sexual
Abuse (CSA) and how to prevent it. Crucially, the findings presented in this
paper show that the majority of research participants saw benefits in attending a
programme. However, this varied by the type of programme attended and the
nature of the impact reported. These variations are discussed in order to
contribute to our understanding about how CSA issues are experienced and
understood by parents and professionals; how they experience the transition of
new knowledge; and what, if any, preventative action is taken by parents and
professionals as a result of attending a Stop it Now! Wales CSA education and
awareness-raising programme.
