Another Reason Why.

Four out of five children are abused within their extended family.

In families - healthy and otherwise - interactions between members have the characteristics of ‘grooming’ behaviour.

Thus, when we frame our vigilance towards and responses to risks to children around ‘grooming’, we’re describing families.

How does a child - or the adult observer - distinguish between healthy and harmful in a family?

Another reason why codes of conduct in schools are so important.

They create and reinforce healthy behaviours between adults and children.
