Training

The Marie Collins Foundation has many years’ experience supporting children and families who have been harmed by Technology-Assisted Child Sexual Abuse (TACSA). We share this expertise with professional colleagues worldwide through specialist training.

Our courses are suitable for all practitioners working with children and families. They equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to understand the nature of TACSA, respond safely and effectively, and support victims and families without causing further harm.

Our training is designed to cover the stages of the journey that victims and their families travel – from discovery of the abuse to recovery and can be tailored to meet individual needs. We deliver sessions to multi-agency groups or single-agency settings, and also offer fully bespoke training packages.
