Holistic approaches to young people who display sexually harmful behaviour

A growing number of children are being sexually abused by other children, say charities.(http://www.bbc.co.uk/ 23 May 2013)

 

The NSPCC has revealed that more than 5,000 young people were reported as abusers to Police in England in Wales over the last three years. This is attributed in part, to the ease of access and sharing of, indecent online materials. However, not all young people who access inappropriate images online go on to offend against another young people.

 

Community Care conferences brings you its 7th bespoke event to providing a holistic approach to young people who display harmful sexual behaviour.

 

Attend this event to learn how to gain confidence and manage cases in order to provide supportive and consistent responses to young people and their carers.

 

Delegates who attend this event will:

• Examine what constitutes ‘normal’ sexual development and compare this to an overview of young peoples’ attitudes to sex in the 21st century
• Assess if it is really only about access and sharing of inappropriate images online: Understand the role of social media and what triggers harmful sexual behaviours in young people
• Gain an overview of evidence-based risk assessments and interventions
• Towards a national strategy: What we can learn from the approach and aims in other regions?

 

Plus – Engage in our practice-based focus-group in the afternoon to:

• Consolidate training approaches to tackling some of your biggest concerns
• Network and share approaches with your peers

 

Choose from:

• Having the difficult conversations: Tackling the different approaches to effectively support the needs of foster care professionals and parents in managing behaviours
• Can transition to adult services become a reality – especially to support mental health?
• The preventative role of education: Practical advice to educate and engage pupils including those from hard to reach communities
