43: Direct work with children displaying harmful sexual behaviour


Listen Later

Hear NSPCC practitioners talk about conducting therapeutic sessions with children and young people and understanding how to manage incidents of harmful sexual behaviour.

You'll hear us discuss:

  • creating safe spaces in therapeutic session and using different techniques and strategies
  • providing clarity around confidentiality and safeguarding when working with children and young people
  • managing expectations of assessments
  • their own experiences of working with children and young people.
  • This episode touches on our practitioners’ experiences of working directly with children and families. Although all experiences are generalised, they could be upsetting for some, and may cause distress.
