This study was conducted from a diverse sample of 18 social workers, medical social workers, counsellors and police officers who worked in CSA cases.These participants came from different organisations namely the royal police of Malaysia, the welfare department, hospitals and non-government agency.

In terms of within organisations, participants identified factors such as inadequate support, excessive workload, safety issue and lack of resources as the major barriers. As for between organisations,factors such as conflict of power and disorganised system were mentioned as factors preventing capabilities of professionals in giving help.
