Hiding the Issue?

Delivered in partnership with Serco and Circles UK

The high profile cases of celebrities, who engaged in harmful sexual behaviour, has brought the subject into public awareness like never before. The time is right therefore to attempt to foster a more productive and less sensational discussion of the issues involved in this most emotive of criminal behaviours.

This conference is our opportunity to bring people together so that we may gain greater understanding of this behaviour, the individuals who commit such offences and how we should manage their behaviour before and after an offence has been committed. Are we offering the right services at the right time? What should those services look like? How can they be accessed? For whom should they be available?

This conference will bring together expert speakers and delegates to have an open and honest discussion, in an attempt to gain greater understanding of the nature and scope of the issue, what can be done to improve things, what is already available, what is required and how we can make that happen, so that we can influence future approaches to safeguarding, provide effective programmes to address behaviour, and support for victims and those affected by these crimes.
