Data, evidence and evaluation
Under Theme 5 of the National Strategy, we are working to build a strong data, research and evaluation agenda to build our evidence base on the nature, causes and impacts of child sexual abuse in Australia. A strong evidence base is the best way to understand how to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse. It’s important to understand any gaps in the evidence base, and how our work is meeting the National Strategy’s vision, objective and values so we can guide the design and ongoing improvement of our response to child sexual abuse. Information about how we are doing this can be found below.
