In her almost four decades of responding to harmful sexual behaviours in children, social worker Carol Carson has seen many changes to treatment in that time.

Now as director of the AIM project in the UK, Carol is taking what she’s learnt as the most important aspect - restorative practices for children and families - and training people around the world in how to practice it.

Her extensive research is also extending into how to best respond to children on the autism spectrum who engage in harmful sexual behaviours, and the importance of a very tailored response for neurodivergent children.

Today - Keeping Kids Safe - A Bright Futures podcast for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation - goes to Dublin Ireland to speak to Carol and hear about how AIM’s resources and best practice guidelines are leading the way in best practice around the world, in helping children recover and lead better lives.

It’s time for difficult conversations to shine light on this hidden topic. This podcast talks openly about child abuse, child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation and harmful sexual behaviours. 
 
Each episode of this series will feature practical insights on how to teach your child safety in the world today.
