ROSA Project-New research: Our Insights Into Preventing Harmful Sexual Behaviour
Posted on
We’re excited to tell you that the latest in our series of Faithfull Papers has launched today, sharing the insights, impact and evaluation of our ROSA Project.
Around one-third of child sexual abuse is carried out by under-18s and online harm is a growing problem as young people’s use of technology has increased. To combat these issues, in 2018, we launched the ROSA (Risk of Online Sexual Abuse) Project.
Over three years, we worked with young people between the ages of 11-19 who had exhibited technology-assisted harmful sexual behaviour (TA-HSB) to find out about the background to their offending, how to help them not offend again, and how best to put this knowledge into prevention work more widely.

Helping young people address their harmful sexual behaviour is an essential part of our mission to prevent child sexual abuse. This research and evaluation will help us to improve our services and protect children now and in the future.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss this research or any future collaborations.
