The Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA Centre) is inviting PhD/Master's student and practitioner researchers – at any stage of their research journey – to join a friendly and participative one-day workshop at London Metropolitan University on Tuesday 19th May 2026.

What you can expect from the workshop:

• a unique opportunity to present your work to a small knowledgeable multi-disciplinary group of fellow students and academics
• collective support and constructive challenges on your studies, reflecting on prevention, intervention, the criminal justice process, disruption, and support for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse
• become part of a wider and supportive community of researchers and discuss ways to share your findings with wider audiences

The structure of the day:
The day will include seminar type presentations with students presenting their work to a small group of fellow researchers with time for discussion and reflection. Presentations can focus on early results but equally on challenges faced in terms of concepts, research design, methods, ethics – whatever would be useful to talk about in depth. Students are also welcome to present their work in any format they prefer.

How to get involved:
To apply to attend the workshop, please complete the following expression of interest form by Wednesday 29th April 2026.

Note:
To get the most out of the day we would encourage all participants to present. If you would like to do this, please indicate so on the form and submit a short summary of your presentation topic in Question 4 of this form.

Please feel free to contact Dr Jasmin Tregidga or Milly Steele at the CSA Centre if you have any questions or would like further information.
