The Lighthouse is a child-friendly, multidisciplinary service for victims and survivors of Child Sexual Abuse/Exploitation (CSA/E).

摘要

The Lighthouse is a child-friendly, multidisciplinary service for victims and survivors of Child Sexual Abuse/Exploitation (CSA/E). Based in Camden in London, it replaced existing services and serves the surrounding five North Central London boroughs. This was a mayoral priority and would become the largest service of its type in the UK, costing approximately £2.387 m per year. This chapter focusses on the MOPAC evaluation. The Lighthouse evaluation employed an action research model and was designed to complement the programme over three years, looking at process, performance, impact, and economic analysis. In that timeframe, the Lighthouse received 889 referrals, with 510 children and young people (CYP) going on to receive support from the service. Overall, the evaluation found the service to be well received by young people, parents, and partners and was seen to have positive effects in a number of areas. This chapter tells the story of the implementation challenges, including both routine and non-routine, and explores the evaluation’s role in navigating these challenges. The most notable of which was continuing to run throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and government-ordered national lockdowns. In this way, how does programme integrity service a pandemic?
