Study hypothesis The study will evaluate a therapeutic intervention for children affected by sexual abuse. The impact of the intervention on children and their ‘safe carer’ will be measured using validated measures in a before and after design with follow-up. In teams where demand for the service exceeds the team’s capacity to deliver, the research design will take the form of a randomised trial with a waiting list control (RCT). Service use data will be collected from the safe carers as part of a cost-effectiveness analysis.
