Educators work hard to maintain the safety of the children in their care. While there are many risks to mitigate, it is important to also consider the risk that children may experience harmful sexual behaviours from other children in your service. Your role is to mitigate the risk, recognise the warning signs, then take appropriate action by responding and reporting.
In this course, you will explore ways to mitigate about harmful sexual behaviours that may occur in a long day care setting. You will learn how to prevent, identify and respond to harmful sexual behaviours that may occur between the children in your care.
In this course, you will:
- understand what sexual behaviours are developmentally appropriate in children and what behaviours are considered harmful
- explore why some children engage in harmful sexual behaviours and what scenarios you may encounter in a long day care setting
- discover educator expectations in reducing the risk and protecting children from sexual behaviours
- examine ways to recognise the signs and indicators of harmful sexual behaviours and understand how to respond and report.
