Trafod works from a basis of substantial experience of direct engagement with offenders and their families. But also equally substantial experience of work with children and their families in which sexual and violent abuse as well as emotional abuse are/were dominant factors.

Criminological theory and direct work with sexually predatory offenders provides a knowledge base of the strategies used by these offenders, and differs from other agencies whose expertise lies in a family work basis.

This offence based expertise informs interventions with victims and the methods used to entrap them and the way in which partners are themselves victims of physical and sexually abusive behaviour.

Work with partners and survivors’ is undertaken from this highly specialised knowledge base.

Trafod Child Protection Consultancy is an independent service providing risk assessments in cases where it is thought that there is a potential of harm to children within a family either through sexual abuse, violence and/or emotional neglect.

Trafod will provide programmes of intervention either in group work form or on a one to one basis for convicted or non-convicted sexual offenders.

Trafod also aims to provide group work intervention focussed on anger management and domestic violence. This service will include the provision of risk assessments but also planned intervention for perpetrators; and therapeutic treatment for key family members, children or adults who have experienced abuse
