Advice

Understanding child sexual abuse

By understanding child sexual abuse, it allows you to better work to prevent it from happening and respond appropriately to concerns.

How to keep children safe

To keep children safe, create secure environments, teach safety rules, and encourage open lines of communication. 

A young person's sexual behaviour

Each child will develop in their own way, but there is a range of acceptable behaviours linked to a child’s age and stage of development. 

Wellbeing and self-care

Whether you are a childcare professional, a parent, or a concerned member of the public, we all play a crucial role in protecting children from harm.

Survivors

Are you or someone you know a survivor of child sexual abuse or exploitation? Help and support are available, even if the abuse occurred a long time ago.

Safer places

Organisations who work with children have responsibilities, not just in the training of staff but also for making the environment they work in as safe as possible.
