Description & Learning objectives

This course explores the harmful sexual behaviours shown by children from a very young age (3-5 years old) all the way through to 17 years old. When it comes to Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB), there are a number of myths and misconceptions to deconstruct; the most prevalent being that children who show these behaviours are simply copying the behaviour of abusive adults who have victimised them.

This course uses the latest and most comprehensive research and literature to ensure that professionals understand the reasons why children may show HSB, how to identify and respond to HSB, and to explore the programmes and support available for children showing HSB.

This course meets the Training, Support, and Development Standards as outlined in The Fostering Services (England) Regulations 2011.

 

The main learning objectives of the course are as follows:

  1. To understand what is meant by harmful sexual behaviours and why some children display them
  2. To explore the reasons why some children show harmful sexual behaviours
  3. To understand the harmful sexual behaviours perpetrated by children against other children online and offline
  4. To explore the common responses to harmful sexual behaviours in the UK

 

This course is CPD accredited and is specifically for anyone working within Children Services. It is also tailored to where you live in the UK, adhering to each country’s own individual regulators - namely: Ofsted, The Care Inspectorate (Wales), The Care Inspectorate (Scotland), and The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (Northern Ireland).

If you have 5 or more learners who require this training, you might like to consider our face-to-face option instead. 

Because each of our courses is created by a specialist within this sector, we have the expertise to tailor any course to your specific needs. You can even arrange for your own documentation policies or procedures to be included in your Learning Management System.

This course is intended for personal development only and does not provide a regulated qualification.
