Traffic Lights® provides a framework that is age and developmentally appropriate, positive, and protective. Traffic Lights® uses the categories of green, orange and red light to help adults identify, understand, and respond to children and young people’s sexual behaviours, to support healthy sexual development and can help protect children and young people from harm or abuse.
Traffic Lights® can be used by a wide variety of professionals including schools, early childhood education and care centres, health professionals, social workers, and psychologists.

Professional Development
We offer a practical Traffic Lights® course in which we examine how young people are using new technologies and both the risks and benefits that these technologies bring. We also examine the implications of digital technology on the sexual development, sexual behaviour, safety and well-being of children and young people.
Participants will explore resources and gain skills to identify and support healthy, age-appropriate online behaviours and to protect children and young people from the risks posed by the online world.
