We are proud to continue our partnership with Robert Tucker, Honorary Associate of Berry Street, and Director of RGT Training & Consultancy based in the UK. Robert is an internationally renowned specialist working with children, young people and families where there are concerns about sexual abuse and inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviours.

Robert will be delivering a range of webinars for Education staff working in a school setting and for general practitioners. For a full list of Robert’s sessions click here.

Overview

This webinar is one in a series of webinars aimed at teaching and educational support staff where there are concerns about sexual behaviours within a school setting.

There are separate introductory webinars for those working in primary and secondary school settings. These introductory webinars aim to help staff identify and evaluate sexual behaviours within the school setting: to consider any immediate responses and to help staff consider when there is a need to consult with or refer to specialist agencies for further advice or intervention. There is a further webinar called ‘Beyond the Basics’ which considers issues relating to the management, supervision and support of pupils with more problematic sexual behaviour in both primary and secondary settings.

This session is targeted at teaching and education support staff working with children in a primary school setting. There is a separate session specifically targeted to working with young people in a secondary school setting and a Beyond the Basics for secondary school staff.

This was really helpful. It helped me remember to think about what is developmentally appropriate, and to recognise that I need to think beyond the sexual nature of the observed behaviour and consider the student's behaviour in general.
