Identifying sexual behaviours (Brooks guide)

This innovative resource from Brookes helps practitioners who work with children and young people to identify, assess and respond appropriately to sexual behaviours. It uses a ‘traffic light tool’ to categorise sexual behaviours, to increase understanding of healthy sexual development and to distinguish this from harmful behaviour.

By identifying sexual behaviours as GREEN, AMBER or RED, practitioners 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 practitioners think through their decisions and does not replace organisational procedures or assessment frameworks. Find the tool on their website at www.brook.org.uk/our-work/category/sexual-behaviours-traffic-light-tool
