Abstract
Notes from international symposium on how contextual prevention strategies can prevent child sexual abuse. Most prevention approaches focus on the individual, and risk factors of children, but efforts need to go beyond this to include social contexts and immediate settings in which child sexual abuse occurs. Contextual prevention aims to make diverse contexts in organisational settings, in homes, online and in public spaces safer for children. Some contexts provide conditions that are conducive to child sexual abuse and pose greater risk than others. When those contextual conditions are altered, children’s safety can be strengthened.
