Education
The subject of sexualised violence has become increasingly present in the media over the past few years. The taboo surrounding the topic has been lifted to a certain extent, but it is still associated with uncertainty for people who are affected directly or indirectly by it.
Many people fear doing something wrong when dealing with affected children. Our aim is to provide information and management strategies for professionals and interested persons, as well as to raise their awareness of their personal fears, anxieties and hopes.
Our educational offers are tailored to your specific requirements in their content and can include the following subjects:
![]() ![]() | Definition and extent of sexualised violence against children and young people |
![]() ![]() | Consequences and signs of sexualised violence |

Informing specialists and people who are interested in learning more about sexualised violence and its consequences for children, young people and adults is an important component of our work. Our educational programs aim to dismantle uncertainties and to reinforce your management competence in your professional and private everyday life for safe conduct with affected persons. For people who are suffering from sexualised violence, it is important that their signals are acknowledged and for them to interact with competent contact persons, who know how to act in case of suspicion.
Since 2010, the subject of sexualised violence has been given a solid place in society and the public eye, through the term of office of the Independent Officer for issues of sexual child abuse. On the 12th December 2018, the office of an Independent Officer for issues of sexual child abuse was permanently established, and Johannes-Wilhelm Rörig was appointed on the 1st April 2019 as the Independent Officer for issues of sexual child abuse for another five years (Source: https://beauftragter-missbrauch.de/der-beauftragte/das-amt). This constituted a further step towards dismantling the taboo around this subject. The public permission to speak and to not keep quiet has encouraged many affected persons to break their silence. The people who are approached with these issues also require safety in their interactions with the affected persons.
Knowledge creates safety.
