Our special issue on Sibling Sexual Abuse is now available online. A big congratulations to Dr Stephanie Kewley & Sarah Pemberton for their work in leading this special edition. I will be sharing each article from this special issue with you all over the next week or so! tandfonline.com/toc/tjsa20/cur…

75% of those surveyed have said they've received sex education at school, but 1/3 said that they didn't cover topics such as domestic abuse, healthy relationships and controlling behaviours. The curriculum must do better to educate our young people about abuse.

We are also extremely grateful for the hard work and stella contributions from authors and extend our thanks to the many anonymous reviewers who volunteered time, knowledge and expertise to help shape this Special Issue. We could not have done it without you, thank you 👏🏻
