Intervention Under Investigation project coming soon
Working in partnership with Norfolk Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, the Harmful Sexual Behaviour team are launching a pilot programme to support children and young people to access support and intervention whilst under investigation.
5th August, 2025
In cases where the child is under investigation, the HSB team can provide advice and support to the professional network around the child to deliver specific intervention with a focus on;
- Ensuring the child has age-appropriate sex and relationships knowledge.
- Supporting the child to understand how to make healthy relationships with others, including exploring personal boundaries, consent, and safe touch.
- Building the child’s skills and capabilities in making healthy relationships including work around self-esteem, emotional regulation, and social skills.
- Supporting the child to explore their developing sexual identity.
This pilot project is planned to launch in October, once relevant professionals have received training.
Details on how to access this service for children and young people who are under police investigation will be provided in the autumn.
