Harmful sexual behaviour guidance

Guidance and tools are available to help schools identify and address harmful sexual behaviour.

The Upstream Project is an online resource for adults in Scotland to prevent child sexual abuse. There is a section for teachers and colleagues working in primary and secondary education settings on sexual abuse and harmful sexual behaviour, including tools to help identify and manage such behaviour. View it here.

The National Improvement Hub also has a page designed to help staff in education and training settings, from early years to senior level and including ASN/EASN provision, to identify, understand and respond appropriately to sexual behaviours in young people. View it here.
