————————-Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, I am a PhD Student within the Division of Psychology & Mental Health at the University of Manchester. I am writing to make a Freedom of Information request to Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, which I am entitled to under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. My PhD topic is ‘Understanding the Psychological Impact of Online Child Sexual Abuse OCSA.’. As part of this PhD, I am interested in understanding NHS responses to OCSA. Current literature examining the psychological impact of OCSA on young people highlights the difficulty many young people face when trying to access services or explain their experience of online abuse to healthcare professionals Hamilton-Giachritsis et al., 2020; Martin, 2014.. This often makes the healing process more difficult for victims. Likewise, literature exploring healthcare professionals’ perspectives of OCSA, has shown that many practitioners find the assessment tools used to assess for child sexual abuse CSA. to be too general to also assess for OCSA El-Asam et al., 2021.. This past year the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children NCMEC. has seen a 100% increase in the reports from the public of online sexual abuse, and the incidence of online grooming significantly increased WeProtect, 2021.. Qualitative interview-based studies are important for gaining a foundational understanding of how practitioners respond to OCSA. However, due to the rapid increase of OCSA in the past year, it is also valuable to understand treatment availability for OCSA from a wider service level. Therefore, I am sending Freedom of Information requests to NHS Trusts, with affiliated Sexual Assault Referral Centre SARC. or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services CAMHS.. This will help highlight gaps in current response procedures for OCSA and inform future intervention methods. Attached to this email is a Word Document with a list of questions categorised by service i.e., SARC and CAMHS.. Please answer the questions for the services. affiliated with your Trust. The word document also contains definition of technology facilitated sexual abuse. Please respond to this request by emailing the answers to the questions to Please let me know if you have any concerns, or let me know if the request is too wide or unclear. Additionally, in the instance that any of this information is already in the public domain, could you please direct me to where to locate this information and if needed any page references and URLs.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this email. I would ask if you could confirm that you have received this request by responding to this email.
