About the session

Children and young people engaging in harmful sexual behaviour is a national public health issue, affecting thousands of young people across the UK every year. Despite this, there are few services available to support young people once harm has taken place and even fewer for young people concerned about their own or someone else’s sexual thoughts, feelings or behaviour. This is why, in June 2023, we launched Shore; designed especially for young people aged 13-18, Shore is a dedicated and confidential resource for teenagers concerned about their own or someone else’s sexual thoughts and behaviour. Rachel will share insights from the first year of delivery of Shore. Since its launch in June 2023, over 46,000 people have visited the site, with over 300 young people seeking support via the anonymous chat and email service. Whilst young people have shared a wide range of concerns about both on and offline sexual behaviour, they have most frequently sought support and advice for their illegal online sexual behaviour. The anonymity that Shore offers has given the Foundation a unique opportunity to learn about young people’s experiences, perspectives and support needs.

Learning objectives

1. To learn about the development, launch and delivery of the Shore website
2. To learn key insights from the pilot evaluation of the site, furthering understanding of the presentation and needs of young people displaying harmful sexual behaviour
3. To learn about future developments of the service
