The ‘Challenge of Abuse’ Training Day has organised by the Brothers of
Charity National Sex Abuse Treatment Group and was held in September
2006. The aim of the day was to provide staff with a greater
understanding of the issues involved in working with victims and
perpetrators of abuse. A further aim was to provide an open discussion
and sharing of experiences.
Fifty eight people attended the conference and fifty people completed
an evaluation form. Thematic analysis was used to review the data. The
seven major themes from the analysis were: Information, Sexuality,
Sharing, Staff Perceptions, Resources, Training and Service
Development. A number of recommendations were made on the basis of
thematic analysis of the respondents’ evaluations.
