Join us at Birkbeck for the launch of Ruth Beecher’s book, Community Health Practitioners and Child Sexual Abuse in the Family, 1970s-2010s. Guest speakers include Joanna Bourke, Sophie Olson, Deborah Hodes and Tracey Loughran. Followed by refreshments.
Drawing on archival research and oral history interviews, Beecher interrogates the role of community health practitioners, including health visitors, doctors and community mental health practitioners, in identifying and responding to child sexual abuse within the family.
