Sharing Sexual Images: Who’s Really Responsible?


Listen Later


When a nude image is shared without consent, why is the first question still,
“Why did they take it in the first place?”

In this latest instalment of Let’s Talk About Sex (and Safeguarding), Ruth Heneke Eliot, trainer, workshop facilitator and co-founder of Training Works, joins us to challenge the narrative that young people “should have known better” and to expose the culture that allows image-based sexual abuse to thrive.


We explore:

  • How victim blaming quietly shapes safeguarding responses

  • Why boys often collect nudes for status, power and validation

  • How shame-based messaging shuts down disclosure

  • What it really means to respond in a trauma-informed way


This episode is a call to rethink our rhetoric, shift accountability where it belongs, and ensure young people know they will not be shamed when they ask for help.


Because safeguarding is all about 'interrupting the potential for harm'.
