ABSTRACT
In Chapter 2 we drew attention to the personal and professional issues which need to be addressed by helpers working with survivors of child sexual abuse. Time set aside for specific training in this area of work is invaluable for exploring many of the issues described in earlier chapters of this book. Training needs will vary between one helper and the next. Some will have undergone professional training which may have included specific input for working with survivors; others will have had little preparation for the work.
