Traffic Light Tool

The Traffic Light Tool and training support professionals working with children and young people to identify, understand and respond to sexualised behaviours.

Using a ‘traffic light’ system, it teaches you how to recognise and identify sexual behaviours, differentiating between those which are part of healthy sexual development and those which are problematic or harmful, and develop an appropriate response that meets the needs of the child or young person.
