In this episode, we explore a difficult but essential topic: harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) among minors.

Using real-world examples, expert-backed definitions, and resources from trusted organisations (like the Lucy Faithful Foundation, NSPCC, and the Centre of Expertise on CSA), we break down:

- What HSB actually is

- The traffic light continuum: green, amber, red behaviours

- Age-appropriate vs. concerning behaviour

- Red flags to look out for

- How to respond – as a parent or professional

Whether you're a teacher, social worker, or parent, this episode will help you better understand HSB, avoid panic, and respond with confidence, calm, and care.

Watch/listen and learn how to assess situations and take action that protects children — not punishes them.

A new study found that 1 in 6 men admit feeling sexual attraction to children — including teenagers under the age of 18.

In this episode, I break down the findings, challenge the stereotypes about who offenders are, and explore what this means for how we protect children and teens today.

Too often, we imagine offenders as “creepy strangers” or people we’d spot a mile off. But the reality is more complex — and more uncomfortable. If we don’t understand that, we can’t keep children safe.

This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness. It’s about honesty. And it’s about pushing this conversation out of the shadows and into the light.

Watch. Share. Discuss.

This was a big moment for me.

It was the first time I’d ever been invited to speak to Year 5 students—children just 9 and 10 years old. And I won’t lie… I was nervous.

This session is about body safety, the importance of speaking up, and how to recognise when something doesn’t feel right. I speak honestly, but gently—because young children deserve to be informed and protected without being overwhelmed.

This isn’t just a lesson—it’s the conversation I wish someone had with me at that age.

👉 If you're a parent, teacher or professional working with children, I hope this gives you ideas and confidence to keep these conversations going.

📌 Topics covered:

- Body boundaries and personal space

- The difference between safe and unsafe touch

- Secrets vs surprises

- Why trust and speaking up matters

📺 Prefer to watch with visuals?

This video includes slides and graphics designed to help young children understand and stay engaged.
