Our Everyone’s Safer project
We ran a three-year action research project, collaborating with schools and the University of Surrey to develop effective leadership responses to harmful sexual behaviour.
Aims
- making schools safer places for children and young people
- increasing the knowledge, resources, and tools available to schools, promoting a preventative approach to stop abuse before it happens.
- influencing both local and national policy
What we found?
We will launch a second phase of the project in Spring 2025, more details to follow.
We support schools and education staff to prevent and respond to harmful sexual behaviour.
- This includes behaviour that can harm either the young person themselves or another person.
- It can range from inappropriate through to problematic, abusive and violent.
- Research suggests that under-18s are responsible for around one third of sexual offences against children and young people in the UK.
