CFSS WA | Protective Behaviours Education Service

The Protective Behaviours Education Program is a preventative, living skills program that enables people of all ages to develop skills to assist them in dealing with all forms of unsafe situations.

Protective Behaviours Education Service

Whilst the program does focus on the prevention of child sexual abuse it does have applications for all forms of abuse and provides individuals with strategies to best prevent and respond to abuse of any kind.

The program caters to children who have suffered or are at risk of sexual abuse. It also provides education to families and communities. Although the program operates from a central office, outreach services to communities in the Gascoyne region are provided.

Our qualified facilitators provide Protective Behaviours programs that include:

Education, both one-on-one and in groups
How to spot and avoid potential danger
How to minimise risk of sexual abuse
What avenues are available to them if they are exposed to sexual abuse in any capacity
General life skills
Training for adults and parents that raises their awareness of child sexual abuse in the wider community, and raises their understanding of its impact
Group activities and courses that encourage the community to unite and take responsibility for ensuring that children are not sexually abused
