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.

Overview

Working with children and young people with inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviours often creates a dilemma between meeting their needs and managing risk. It is common for such young people to be subject to enhanced supervision and impositions on who they can be with, where they can go. However, such restrictions need to be kept under review as not allowing a child or young person to interact freely with other young people and not allowing them access to social media could have a significant effect on their emotional, social and sexual development, which could increase rather than reduce potential risk.

This webinar seeks to consider practical ways in which practitioners can balance risk and need.

Learning outcomes

  • to consider practical strategies to help carers and professionals manage risk in a helpful way
  • to help practitioners balance risk and need
  • to help practitioners make more informed decisions about how to manage situational and emotional triggers
  • to consider ways to monitor and manage risk whilst supporting their development and enhancing future independence.
