Somerset Phoenix Project

A specialist service supporting children, young people and their families who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.

We also support the professional development of the workforce across Somerset through consultation & training.

Our goal is to empower others to join us in mitigating the negative impact of child sexual abuse on the lives of children and families living in Somerset, so they can rebuild & thrive.

How we can help

Somerset Phoenix Project is a small county wide service provided by Barnardo's. We work directly with children, young people and families to support recovery from Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), taking a relational, therapeutic approach. We provide support, training, consultation, and signposting to our professional partners supporting children, young people and families affected by CSA. Please contact us if you want to discuss what we can offer prior to completing a request for support. You can make a request or find out more about requesting support from us by visiting our Request Support page.
