Charity ACTS FAST (www.actsfast.org.uk) support the non- abusing parents and carers of children who have been sexually abused and those parenting children with a partner who has been arrested for online child sexual abuse offences.  We are currently being funded to work across the South West, which includes Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Wiltshire, Avon & Somerset and Gloucestershire.

ACTS FAST also offers training for multi-agency teams supporting non-offending family members of suspects arrested for CSAM and online offences.

‘After The Knock: Trauma informed support for secondary victims’ supports professionals to identify a trauma informed approach to working with families impacted by police investigations and contact with statutory services. Our approach also promotes care for professionals who we know are adversely impacted by these types of investigations.

Designed using up to date research and consultation with our clients and evaluated by a panel of academics and practitioners leading in this field nationally.
