The Government is committed to tackling all forms of child sexual abuse, including intra-familial abuse.

We fund the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse who have produced specific guidance on responding to sibling sexual abuse, and fund Rape Crisis England and Wales to provide support to victims and survivors of sibling sexual abuse.
