In this module, we will clarify the exact definitions of child-on-child abuse, sexual violence and harassment, particularly in an educational setting working with young people.

In this module, we will look at the guidance available to educational settings, particularly within the UK. This can also be applied internationally, to support the management of child-on-child abuse in more detail.

In this module, we provide practical advice on how to develop policies and processes in an educational setting to make sure that concerns of child-on-child abuse are prevented, managed and addressed.

This module looks at the importance of staff training and how we should educate children and young people so that they understand how to recognise what is not acceptable in relationships with their peers.

This module explores how best to support both parties when child-on-child abuse has occurred. It takes a trauma-informed approach.
