Maybe you feel like this is too much information to handle. To sum up, here are three simple steps that you can take:
- Find out who you should report to if you think that any of your students might be experiencing some kind of sexual victimization.
- If you suspect, or a child discloses sexual victimisation to you LISTEN, COMFORT AND REPORT.
- Sexual victimisation is not easy to detect. Very frequently we feel unsure and confused. But if we think that a child might be a victim, we can make a difference in their lives if we listen and try to make them feel comfortable. We can make a difference by being that trustworthy adult that supports them and tries to understand them.
