In Britain, only one in eight victims of child sexual abuse is brought to the attention of authorities. But over the past few years, high profile cases of child abuse in the United Kingdom have been exposed and widely reported on. Journalists Alex Renton, Katharine Quarmby and Olly Lambert spoke with the Dart Center about the challenges of reporting on child abuse, and trauma experts Sarah Heke and Shelagh Beckett offer guidance on how to ethically and effectively interview victims of childhood trauma.

On April 28, 1996, a gunman with two semi-automatic assault rifles killed 35 people in a cafe in Port Arthur, Tasmania. On the twentieth anniversary of the shootings, the Dart Center calls attention to a variety of resources including an eloquent record of the attacks' long aftermath; powerful essays from those who covered the tragedy; and reporting tips as we seek to better cover, and understand, the longterm effects of traumatic events.
