Brook’s nationally recognised Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool training provides a highly visible, multi-agency response that helps professionals to identify, understand and respond appropriately to sexual behaviours in children and young people.

The tool and accompanying training provide professionals and organisations with a framework for identifying whether behaviour is part of healthy development or if it is a cause for concern.

The training equips professionals to make consistent and informed decisions that neither pathologises nor criminalises children and young people. Participants will be trained to have robust and meaningful conversations around harmful sexual behaviour that causes concern and will be equipped to embed the tool within their practice.

By the end of the training participants will be able to:

Identify behaviour and establish if sexual behaviour is typical or developmentally appropriate, problematic or harmful.
Understand what that behaviour is communicating and why the child or young person may be exhibiting the behaviour.
Respond – the type of response will depend on what's motivating the behaviour, what the behaviour is communicating and the severity of the behaviour

The training comes with CPD certification and exclusive access to the digital Traffic Light Tool resources.

Endorsed by Gwynedd County Borough Council and Caerphilly Youth Service, Brooks’ Harmful Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool has become our most popular professional training across Wales with NSPCC Cymru, Pembs Action for Children, and Platfform among organisations who have recently completed the training.

“This training has given me a greater understanding of the subject and subsequently allowed me to distinguish between healthy and harmful sexual behaviours in young people. This improved understanding means that I am now better able to support my young people by knowing when I need to signpost to appropriate agencies and when to safeguard.” – Deb, Senior Youth and Family Worker in Caerphilly.
