Police, social workers and helplines were each reported as disclosure recipients in approximately 1 per cent of instances, on average. These findings should be interpreted in the context of the broader disclosure patterns presented in previous tables. Children were substantially more likely to disclose to informal support networks, including friends and family members, than to formal services in the year after the exploitation and abuse occured. Low levels of disclosure to formal mechanisms do not necessarily indicate that these services are unavailable or ineffective, but may reflect a range of factors including children’s awareness of available services, trust in formal systems, concerns about confidentiality or consequences and whether children perceive the abuse they endured as something that can or should be reported. The findings reinforce the importance of ensuring that formal support pathways are accessible, seen as a viable alternative for children, and connected to the trusted adults and communities that children turn to when seeking support.
