Sexual abuse affects childrens development in many ways, and each childs experience of abuse is unique to them. To answer this question you may wish to concentrate on one or two particular aspects to demonstrate how sexual abuse impacts on children. For example, you may concentrate on the childs internal working model, self esteem, identify, emotional regulation, or behaviour. When answering the assessment you need to reflect on how children are affected by abuse, and how your organisation delivers recovery to children. In your assessment consider which theories are relevant to understanding the impact of sexual abuse on children?”
