Abstrakt: Three one day workshops for 40 senior clinical staff were held to introduce a new Operational Policy on Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and to provide them with a teaching package to enable them to run 'cascade' teaching sessions for other staff and colleagues. Part 1 of this paper describes an evaluation of the workshop; Part II describes an evaluation of the cascade. The workshop evaluation showed that knowledge about CSA and policy issues was already good, but although that knowledge did improve after the workshop, attitudes about sexual behaviour were not changed by the workshop. Evaluation of the cascade also showed an increase in knowledge after the dissemination exercise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
