Enhancing responses to harmful sexual behaviours among teachers and parents: Co-developing training materials and resources
This project will use a participatory action research design including co-design methodology and mixed-methods implementation and impact evaluation to create research and practice outcomes that will support the upskilling of teachers and school leaders to enable staff in Education settings to better prevent and respond to harmful sexual behaviours displayed by children and support child-centred responses by parents to children who have displayed or experienced concerning or harmful sexual behaviours in school settings.
This project will draw upon research evidence, practice knowledge, best practice online education development and co-design outcomes with teachers, school leaders and parents in a project comprising three work strands:
- Construct 4-5 hours of tailored online training in ‘bite sized’ 20–30-minute modules for education staff, including some extension modules for leaders in relation to HSB, resulting in both a DMF branded multi-state version and a tailored CEWA specific version of the training materials ready for plug and play on the Articulate online learning
- Prepare print and video virtual information resources on HSB for parents.
- Evaluate the implementation and impact these resources in supporting schools and parents to respond to children and young people’s HSB in education settings.
