Sexualised Behaviour Professional Reading
The Brook Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool
The Brook Sexual Behaviours Traffic Light Tool offers guidance for age-appropriate behaviour. The Brooks Traffic Light Tool, shows behaviours for a young person aged 0-17 that fall within green, amber and red categories.
Managing and preventing harmful sexual behaviour guidelines
These 
guidelines have been produced as a response to the sexual health needs of young people in Forth Valley. The purpose of the document is to allow all staff whether in the role of teacher, learning assistant, janitor or administrator, to use this as a reference and guide for their practice. It aims to support staff to understand how to respond and manage the sexual behaviours of the children and young people in their school.
Covid-19 restrictions mean that many children are spending more time unsupervised offline and online. The Harmful sexual behaviour prevention toolkit has been developed to spread awareness of the signs of harmful sexual behaviour, and help adults take action to prevent abuse happening.
