This Session

This webinar is one in a series of webinars intended for professionals and caregivers working and caring for children and young people who display concerning sexual behaviour. This introductory session is for those working or caring for prepubescent children and there is a separate session specifically about adolescents. These introductory webinars help participants identify the differences between age-expected and problematic sexual behaviour, when to seek specialist support and considers possible causes in the development of problematic or harmful sexual behaviour. You can choose to attend one or both of these webinars and whilst there is an overlap of content they are focused on specific age groups. There is a further webinar called ‘Beyond the Basics’ which considers issues relating treatment, therapeutic care and risk management focusing on both age groups. These webinars focus on contact sexual behaviours and not internet-related sexual behaviour.
