Barnardo's Skylight Project

Skylight aims to alleviate the impact of sexual abuse on children and young people in Edinburgh, West Lothian and East Lothian.

We achieve this by:

• offering young people respect and as much choice and control as possible during their involvement with the service
• working to increase the confidence of young people and parents through greater understanding of their experience of abuse
• reviewing the service we offer young people and their families in the light of changing needs and practice research on 'what works'
• working in partnership with young people and carers and colleagues from a range of disciplines including social work, education and health, contributing to best practice in this area of work through consultancy and training
• developing and increasing professional capacity to respond to sexual abuse by consultancy and training
• making available Skylight’s extensive resource library to professional staff
