Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool training – for professionals

The resource uses a traffic light tool to categorise the sexual behaviours of young people; to help professionals: make decisions about safeguarding children and young people; assess and respond appropriately to sexual behaviour in children and young people; understand healthy sexual development and distinguish it from harmful behaviour. By identifying sexual behaviours as green; amber or red; professionals across different agencies can work to the same criteria when making decisions and protect children and young people with a unified approach. This resource has been designed to help professionals think through their decisions and does not replace organisational procedures or assessment frameworks.
