Supporting children and young people’s sexual safety
A resource hub supporting you to nurture children and young people’s healthy sexual development, and respond to problematic and harmful sexual behaviour.
Everyone working with children and young people can help keep them safe. Explore practical resources on body safety relationships, consent and online safety.
You might be the first to notice a sexual behaviour. Understanding what’s developmentally expected, and seeing behaviours in context, is key to responding well.
You might be one of the first people to respond when a problematic or harmful sexual behaviour occurs. But you don't need to have all the answers to take the first step.
What is problematic and harmful sexual behaviour
Problematic and harmful sexual behaviour affects children, families, and communities. Understanding it clearly is the first step toward effective prevention, recognition, and response.
