Welcome to the Understanding and Responding to Harmful Sexual Behaviours Carer Resource. This resource is an educational tool designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of Carers who provide support to children and young people at risk of developing or experiencing harmful sexual behaviours.
Funded by the Western Australian Department of Communities and developed by the Australian Centre for Child Protection (ACCP) at the University of South Australia, this resource is designed to complement current supports you receive or formal training you may have completed. It offers flexible usage, allowing you to consult specific sections as needed, as often as necessary. The resource includes written summaries on key topics related to understanding, preventing, and responding to harmful sexual behaviour. Each section features visual infographics and posters for quick access to valuable information, as well as videos and links to helpful websites.
We trust this resource will equip you with valuable information to support you to care for and safeguard children and young people, making it a valuable addition to your toolkit.
