Summary: This guide for trainers has been
written as a response to the many
requests received at ECPAT
International for advice and
assistance in training carers to look
after children who have been
commercially sexually exploited. This guide for trainers has been written as a response to the
many requests received at ECPAT International for advice and
assistance in training carers to look after children who have been
commercially sexually exploited. Often carers find themselves in
the position of having to fulfil many of the child’s needs, and take
on many roles, sometimes with few resources and little formal
training. It is hoped that this resource will be useful when putting
together training programmes for carers. It is to be used as a
basis when developing training which meets the needs of
organisations and fits particular circumstances. The authors do
not suggest that following this course will train carers to
be ‘experts’ in the subjects covered in the sessions, but they are
hopeful that it will give carers an overall appreciation and
understanding, and help identify future training needs.
Chapters cover how the group is going to work together during
the training; how views about child abuse and ideas about
children are shaped; Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) -what it means &
who is affected; Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
(CSEC) - What it means and who is affected;
the ‘Special Needs’ of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children;
understanding behaviour and developing strategies to manage
bad behaviour & encourage good behaviour; developing skills in
managing challenging behaviour; health promotion; life & social
skills (i.e. developing confidence, esteem and the skills necessary
for life, promoting protective behaviour and anger management);
education & vocational training; developing effective ways of
working to aid the recovery process;
support for carers (ways to avoid ‘ burnout’); and successful
rehabilitation (i.e. promoting the chances of success).
