About the Child Sexual Abuse Awareness programme
Seen and Heard is a joint initiative from the Department of Health, The Children’s Society and NHS England. Focused on raising awareness of child sexual abuse (CSA) and exploitation (CSE), the e-learning course provides an authentic, child-centred perspective on abuse and exploitation. The message is clear – if abuse is to stop, children need to be both seen and heard.
Told through the story of Tyler and his experiences of the services he comes into contact with during the course of his abuse, Seen and Heard is narrated by young people, supported by the latest research findings.
