The purpose of the funding is: 1) To promote and disseminate best practice in the provision of support to help children and young people cope with and, as far as possible, recover from sexual abuse. 2) To improve the quality of support available to children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse. 3) To build understanding of what works to support children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse. Funding will be awarded to statutory non-statutory sector organisations. By supporting these services this funding will contribute to improved health and wellbeing outcomes for victims and survivors, improved criminal justice outcomes (by supporting victims through the criminal justice process) and cost savings for other public services (e.g mental health, drug and alcohol services) by addressing the trauma caused by childhood sexual abuse.
