Underage Sexual Activity Policy

This Underage Sexual Activity Policy provides guidance for staff to respond appropriately, lawfully, and sensitively to concerns involving sexual activity among children under the age of consent. It outlines procedures for recognising signs, assessing risk, and safeguarding children while ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Staff are guided on reporting, documenting, and working with parents, social services, and relevant agencies to protect children’s welfare. The policy emphasises confidentiality, non-judgmental support, and promoting the child’s best interests. By following this policy, the organisation ensures that underage sexual activity is managed safely, ethically, and consistently, prioritising protection, wellbeing, and education.
