Harmful Sexual Behaviours training

Harmful sexual behaviours can be defined as sexual behaviours expressed by children and young people under the age of 18 years old that are developmentally inappropriate, may be harmful towards self or others and/or be abusive towards another child, young person or adult’ (reference: National Children’s Bureau).

One of the consequences of sexual abuse can be that children and young people do not understand the boundaries of appropriate behaviours, and may behave in sexually inappropriate ways.

This course enables learners to understand the origins of such behaviours, and how to help children and young people to develop socially acceptable ways of relating to others.
