Resources for professionals

These resources are for professionals working with adults and families affected by or concerned about child sexual abuse. The client-facing flyers can be shared directly, printed for waiting rooms and resource folders, or included in referral packs.

Concerned about your own thoughts or behaviour

A flyer for clients who may be concerned about their own sexual thoughts or behaviour towards children, including those struggling to manage urges or unsure where to turn. It explains that the helpline is free, anonymous, and non-judgemental, and outlines how it can help someone understand their situation, respond more safely, and take practical steps to prevent harm. Share it directly with a client, or leave it somewhere they can access it privately.

Concerned about someone else

A flyer for clients who are worried about another adult’s behaviour towards children, or unsure about a concerning situation. It explains how the helpline can help someone make sense of what they’re seeing, consider safe next steps, and reduce risk to a child. It also notes that the service supports professionals directly, not just people making a referral.

Note: This resource is for internal use by professionals only. It’s designed to help you understand the service and speak about it confidently. It is not intended to be given to clients.
