This report details the learning during the implementation of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) services in London as part of the CSA Transformation Programme 2015-2018. The CSA Transformation Programme set out to pilot three approaches to supporting children and young people after experiencing CSA. These three models were the Children and Young People’s Haven Service (CYP Havens) based within London’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), the Child House model and Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) hubs.

The report details the service offer, roles and referral pathway of the CYP Havens service, the North Central London (NCL) CSA Hub and the South West London (SWL) CSA service. Outcomes and service user feedback for each service are provided. The report goes on to look at the operational and systemic challenges that were faced in delivering the change across London.

The CSA services all demonstrate the benefit of a multiagency team providing holistic health support and case management. As the CYP Havens expands services and the Child House pilot commences more learning about this will emerge.
