The need for a perpetration prevention service

    • Research shows one in three girls and one in five boys in Australia are victims of child sexual abuse.
    • But real and lasting progress in decreasing child sexual abuse will only occur when we work with (potential) perpetrators to prevent harm.
    • We need to work with these individuals to prevent child sexual abuse occurring in the first place.
    • They felt that if the service saves just one child from sexual abuse, it is worthwhile.
    • UK and Ireland, which collaborated closely with the Australian team ahead of the local service, has operated for more than 20 years.

Early intervention is key

    • This indicates the service is reaching people before they come to the attention of authorities, and in this way is providing early intervention.
    • They talk about struggling with problem thoughts or behaviours for years and wanting to change, but not knowing how.
    • Australia offers an anonymous space for individuals to manage and change their thoughts or behaviours, and this helps prevent child sexual abuse.
    • The service’s limited opening hours has been identified as a barrier for some people being able to access the program.
    • Australia is focused on putting the responsibility for child sexual abuse prevention on adults and (potential) perpetrators.
