A two-day course

Child sexual abuse is in the media like never before, but the extent of the abuse and the variety of ways children are sexually abused can be overwhelming. The aim of this course is to help us disentangle the subject so we can think clearly and safely, thus enabling us to better protect children.

Day One: concerns have been expressed that with all the focus on professional and institutional abuse, sexual abuse within the family is still being overlooked. 

We will consider:
  • The grooming process and pre-conditions for sexual abuse
  • Indicators that may alert us to child sexual abuse
  • Ways to assess and promote the protective capacity of the non-abusing parent
  • The short and long term effects of child sexual abuse and the therapeutic needs of the child
  • The effect that child sexual abuse can have on the professional network around the child
  • Ways to encourage and build a protective environment 
Day Two: will focus on abuse outside of the immediate family. We will consider:
  • How an individual can abuse within an institution
  • How an abuser can 'hide in plain sight'
  • What an organisation can do to create a protective environment
  • Child sexual exploitation: how to recognise the danger signals
  • Sexually harmful behaviour by children and young people
  • Sexual bullying and sexual aggression in young people's relationships

Meddwl am yr Annychmygol: Cam-drin Plant yn Rhywiol
30 Medi & 1 Hydref 2015, Y Rhyl - Ffurflen Archebu Ar-lein
21 & 22 Hydref 2015, Caerdydd - Ffurflen Archebu Ar-lein

Cwrs Deuddydd
Mae cam-drin plant yn rhywiol yn amlycach nag erioed yn y cyfryngau, ond gall hyd a lled y camdriniaeth a'r gwahanol ffyrdd o gam-drin plant yn rhywiol ein llethu. Nod y cwrs hwn yw ein helpu i geisio cael hyd i ffordd drwy'r dryswch, fel ein bod ni'n gallu meddwl yn glir ac yn ddiogel am yr annychmygol, gan ein rhoi mewn sefyllfa well i fedru amddiffyn plant.

Diwrnod Un: mae pryderon wedi cael eu mynegi, gyda'r holl ganolbwyntio ar gamdriniaeth broffesiynol a sefydliadol, fod cam-drin rhywiol o fewn y teulu yn dal i gael ei anwybyddu. 

Byddwn ni'n ystyried:
  • Y broses baratoi a'r rhag-amodau ar gyfer camdriniaeth rywiol
  • Dangosyddion a all ein rhybuddio bod plentyn yn cael ei gam-drin yn rhywiol
  • Ffyrdd o asesu a hybu gallu amddiffynnol y rhiant nad yw'n cam-drin
  • Effeithiau cam-drin plentyn yn rhywiol yn y tymor byr a'r tymor hir, ac anghenion therapiwtig y plentyn
  • Effaith bosibl cam-drin plentyn yn rhywiol ar y rhwydwaith proffesiynol o amgylch y plentyn
  • Ffyrdd o hybu a meithrin amgylchedd amddiffynnol
Diwrnod Dau: bydd yn canolbwyntio ar gamdriniaeth y tu allan i'r teulu agos. Byddwn ni'n ystyried:
  • Sut gall unigolyn gam-drin o fewn sefydliad
  • Sut gall rhywun sy'n cam-drin 'guddio yn y golwg'
  • Beth gall sefydliad ei wneud i greu amgylchedd amddiffynnol
  • Ecsbloetio plant yn rhywiol: sut mae adnabod arwyddion perygl
  • Ymddygiad rhywiol niweidiol gan blant a phobl ifanc
  • Bwlio rhywiol ac ymosodedd rhywiol ym mherthnasoedd pobl ifanc
