Below is a great booklet to use to talk with your child/ren about extremism.

Harmful Sexual Behaviour

Most of the risk of child sexual abuse comes from people known to a child - in their family and community. Other children also pose a risk, and around one third of those who have sexually abused a child are themselves under the age of 18. Parents Protect has put together a toolkit to help with recognising any signs of abuse and action that can be taken.
