You might worry about 'getting it wrong', having to have difficult conversations, 'opening a can of worms', and not knowing what to say or how to respond. This guide explains what may be going on for children when they are being sexually abused; what prevents them from telling about their abuse; and what you can do to help them tell you what is happening.
