Sexual health in plain English: Protective behaviours
This document in Plain English explains that anything a person does, or can learn to do, in order to keep their body safe is called a protective behaviour. These protective behaviours are important to know about when it comes to someone’s body and sexual behaviour. These include knowing your body, recognising behaviours that are O.K. or NOT O.K., such as early warning signs, knowing the difference between safe surprises and unsafe secrets, and knowing how to get help from trusted people and safety teams when feeling worried or unsafe.
