Presented by Carolyn Gelenter & Rachel Bailley

This is a brief introduction and overview of Protective Behaviours, which is a trauma informed approach to support resilience and well-being.

The Protective Behaviours framework supports adults to reflect on their own practice, and teaches children and young people the concept of safety and the skills of risk taking as opposed to risky behaviours.

Protective Behaviours meets the Ofsted requirement for teaching children and young people safeguarding skills, particularly Harmful Sexual Behaviours, and supports the new Statutory Regulations on Health, Relationships and Sex Education.

Participants will:
