DSL Secondary Workshop: Exploring the context of risk in harmful sexual behaviour in children

The Harmful Sexual Behaviour team are offering a free 90-minute workshop for safeguarding leads in secondary settings exploring the context of risk in harmful sexual behaviour in children and young people.

The workshop will cover:

Exploring how we make sense of risk in relation to harmful sexual behaviour.
Developing insight into the factors that influence our own perception of levels of risk and how this can influence decision making.
Exploring the difference between risk management in the moment and longer-term risk reduction.

This workshop will be delivered by Lesley-Anne Bray, HSB Senior Practitioner from Norfolk HSB team and will be supported by members of the Education Safeguarding Team.

This is a workshop session which will provide opportunities to ask questions but if any cannot be answered during the 90 minutes, then a member of the Safeguarding Team and/or Harmful Sexual Behaviour Team will get in touch with delegates via email following the webinar.

As this session is a workshop, it will not be recorded but reference materials will be shared with delegates following the session.

Please book your free place on this workshop via S4S.
