The Safe Wayz Program coordinates an integrated response for children under the age of criminal responsibility (currently 10 years in NSW) with problematic or harmful sexual behaviours (PHSBs). Safe Wayz adopts a strength-based, family focussed and culturally centred trauma-informed approach to working with children and families to help behaviours from escalating.
The Safe Wayz Program coordinates primary prevention initiatives to educate children, families, schools, carers, community and professionals about problematic & harmful sexual behaviours (PHSB) including guidance on developmentally appropriate sexual behaviours. This role specifically builds capacity to identify and understand PHSB, collaborates with agency partners, provides consultation and training and advocates for system and practice changes. This role coordinates pathways into specialist counselling services for children and families who need them and will hold a small clinical case load.
