Online courses to help manage harmful sexual behaviour in primary or secondary schools in the UK

Gain the knowledge you need to confidently identify and manage incidences of harmful or problematic sexualised behaviour.

Take our courses for primary or secondary schools and learn to:

  • recognise which sexual behaviours are developmentally typical, which are of concern, and what the possible contributing factors are
  • respond to incidents of sexualised behaviour and deal with the personal impact of witnessing this behaviour
  • record, with accuracy and detail, any incidents of sexualised behaviour in your school
  • report concerns internally and to external agencies, including children’s services
  • manage the risks of sexualised behaviour within your school by implementing safety plans.

The courses contain teaching pages, videos, reflective opportunities and learning activities so you can apply what you learn to your school environment.

Primary schools

Learning about sex and sexual behaviour begins at a young age. It’s often a healthy and normal part of a child’s development, but concerning behaviour can also start to emerge. An early response can help prevent children from harming themselves and others.

Secondary schools

Children at secondary school often spend more time unsupervised, can be greatly influenced by their peer group and have more exposure to social media, the internet and technology. These factors can influence their understanding of what healthy sexual behaviour looks like.
