SLIP Sessions
Supporting young people to understand sexual behaviors.
SLIP is a short-term, educational, and age-appropriate project for young people aged 9-24 who have engaged in concerning sexual behaviour e.g. sending inappropriate or graphic images, accessing inappropriate content online, behaving inappropriately towards someone. The project aims to support you to understand the impact and consequences of your behaviours and attitudes.
The modules are delivered in an informal, interactive, creative, and accessible way. You choose from 6 modules the ones that you think will help you get the information and support you need to fill any gaps in your knowledge and understanding.
How can you join?
-
Small group sessions – designed for young people to learn alongside peers in a safe, interactive environment. These can be closed groups within one provision or open groups either online or face-to-face.

1-1 sessions – available for children and young people who may find group settings difficult or prefer a more private session.
SLIP sessions are FREE for children and young people who live in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough.

Understanding
Sexualised Behaviours in Children and Young People
Understanding Sexualised Behaviours in Children and Young People is a workshop designed to support parents, carers, and professionals in navigating conversations about relationships and sex with young people.
If you are concerned that a child or teenager could be exposed to or engaging in *concerning sexual behaviours* either online or face to face, this workshop could provide you with the support you need to help them understand the consequences of these behaviours and have the information they need to decide whether to continue.
*Concerning behaviours include sending or viewing inappropriate and/or explicit images and content and inappropriate behaviours with or towards other people.
The workshop also gives an insight into the SLIP Project and how to make a referral.
This workshop is FREE for parents and professionals in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
(If you live or work outside of the county, see charges).
