How Adults Tell: A Study of Adults’ Experiences of Disclosure to Child Protection Social Work Services

A presentation of the findings of a study examining adult disclosures of childhood sexual abuse to child protection social work services in the Republic of Ireland.

Limited literature indicates that adults can have negative experiences when disclosing childhood abuse; this is primarily owing to a lack of training, policy and guidance for practitioners, and legal complexities regarding allegations of abuse.

This study used a biographic-narrative interpretive method (BNIM) to gather the experiences of adults who engaged with child protection social work services.
