Preventing Child Sexual Abuse at Scale: What Does It Take?  

June 26, 2026

The latest episode of The Sexual Violence Research Podcast from the SVRI is out now.

The profound impact of child sexual abuse demands that we prevent it. Yet the evidence base remains thin, and we know even less about how to scale prevention programmes effectively.

In this episode, podcast host Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI), explores what it really takes to prevent child sexual abuse at scale with guests Amy Cuffley, Senior Programmes Manager, Spring Impact, and Raviporn Khumpeerapong, Clinical Psychologist, Peace Culture Foundation.

Together they look at why scaling prevention programmes is so challenging, what it means to maintain quality while expanding reach, and the critical role that governments play in the process. Plus, we explore what lessons can be learnt from organisations who are already successfully scaling interventions to prevent child sexual abuse. 

The Sexual Violence Research Podcast can be found on the major podcast platforms, Apple and Spotify as well as at svri.org
