Online courses to help manage harmful sexual behaviour in primary or secondary schools in the UK
Do you need to increase your understanding and identification of behaviours in children and young people at your school that are healthy and those which are of concern?
Do you feel confident in immediately responding to an incident of sexual violence and sexual harassment and providing a response that’s best for the child or children involved?
Developed by subject matter experts specialising in preventing harmful sexual behaviour, these NSPCC elearning courses for primary or secondary schools will give you the knowledge and skills to recognise, report and record concerns to help keep children safe.
Course for 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.

What will I learn?
Guidance in all four UK nations stresses the importance of providing an effective response to harmful sexual behaviour (Department for Education, 2018a; Department of Health. Northern Ireland, 2017; Scottish Government, 2014, All Wales Child Protection Procedures Review Group (AWCPPRG), 2012).
We know one of the biggest challenges school professionals face is when they feel unsupported in understanding what they need to do around harmful sexual behaviour in order to respond appropriately.
The courses contains five sections followed by an assessment to help you develop your understanding and confidence.
After completing the courses you will:
- have a better understanding of which behaviours are healthy and which are of concern
- feel confident in responding immediately to incidents of sexualised behaviour
- be able to accurately record and detail any incidents
- better manage the risks of sexualised behaviour by implementing safety plans.
