As part of the Government strategy to tackle child sexual abuse the Department has engaged with other Government departments including the Department for Education to deliver the actions set out in in the Government’s Tackling Child Sexual Exploitation report of March 2015, on how to improve services to vulnerable groups including children who have experienced abuse.
