Testimonials

"Traffic Lights is a comprehensive suite of resources for identifying, understanding, and responding to sexual behaviours in children and young people...Traffic Lights provides essential cross-disciplinary positive and protective guidance for all professionals who work with children and young people. It uses the concepts of healthy sexual behaviours (green), concerning behaviours (orange), and harmful behaviours (red) to assist adults to know how to promote and support healthy sexual development, and when to step in and take action on potential harm, abuse, or exploitation. It provides helpful examples and words to use. Implementation of Traffic Lights can be supported by the delivery of high-quality online and face-to-face professional development options. As an academic advisor to Australia’s Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, I recommend this suite of evidence-based resources as a valuable addition to organisations’ broader strategies to enact child safe organisations."
