Sexual abuse and therapeutic services for children and young people. The gap between provision and need (20th July 2009)
A huge shortfall in therapy is leaving thousands of sexually abused children struggling to recover from their ordeal, a new NSPCC report reveals.
Each year at least 55,000 sex abuse victims face behavioural and mental health problems because of a post-code lottery in therapeutic services.
There is only one support programme for every 25,000 children living in the UK and many areas provide no therapeutic provision for sexually abused children at all.
