Understanding harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) training

This training is designed for teams working in children’s services or multi-agency partnerships who may come into contact with children affected by or displaying HSB.

However, everyone who works with children and families has a role to play in identifying concerns, sharing information and taking immediate action so children receive the right help at the right time. This course may also be of interest to teachers, healthcare workers or teams in other sectors.

The course can also be delivered as a two-day train the trainer model so professionals become licenced to deliver the training to colleagues and relevant multi-agency staff to increase awareness more widely.
