Brook Traffic Lights Framework Training
Understanding Healthy Sexual Development and Responding with Confidence
DSPL2 is pleased to offer Brook's licensed Traffic Lights Framework training to schools and professionals working with children and young people.
The Brook Traffic Lights Framework is an evidence-based tool that helps professionals recognise and respond appropriately to children's sexual behaviours. It supports staff to distinguish between behaviours that are developmentally expected, those that may be cause for concern, and those that require immediate safeguarding action.
The framework promotes consistent decision-making, builds professional confidence and helps ensure children receive the right support at the right time.
