Launch of the Practice-based Knowledge Guidance Framework

We are delighted to invite you to the launch of a new suite of resources on practice-based knowledge (PbK) — a comprehensive guide designed for those working in childhood sexual violence (CSV) prevention and response. 

This new suite of resources includes:  

1. The role of practice-based knowledge in preventing and responding to childhood sexual violence: Background paper
2. Using practice-based knowledge to prevent and respond to childhood sexual violence: Guidance framework
3. Frequently asked questions on practice-based knowledge

Together, these resources emphasize why PbK is critical in CSV prevention and response. They support practitioners to gather and apply real-world insights gained through experience, reflection, and adaptation — complementing formal research and strengthening evidence-informed action. 

Speakers and moderators include frontline practitioners and those with lived expertise using practice-based knowledge to prevent and respond to CSV across regions and contexts.
