In this episode, we explore a difficult but essential topic: harmful sexual behaviour (HSB) among minors.


Using real-world examples, expert-backed definitions, and resources from trusted organisations (like the Lucy Faithful Foundation, NSPCC, and the Centre of Expertise on CSA), we break down:


- What HSB actually is

- The traffic light continuum: green, amber, red behaviours

- Age-appropriate vs. concerning behaviour

- Red flags to look out for

- How to respond – as a parent or professional


Whether you're a teacher, social worker, or parent, this episode will help you better understand HSB, avoid panic, and respond with confidence, calm, and care.


Watch/listen and learn how to assess situations and take action that protects children — not punishes them.
