Understanding Problematic Sexual Behaviour in Young Children (presented by Dr Ian Burke)
1 pm – 3 pm

Session Summary:
This webinar will explore the topic of problematic sexual behaviour (PSB) in young children. Starting with an overview, the webinar will:
• Outline the aetiology of problematic sexual behaviour
• Discuss what is healthy sexual behaviour versus what is problematic and concerning
• How we address these behaviours.
• The webinar will then use Dr Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory to help us understand the specific needs of children displaying PSB who have experienced their own trauma.

Dr Ian Burke is a Registered Clinical & Forensic Psychologist (HCPC) and Chartered Psychologist (BPS). He joined The Lucy Faithfull Foundation in 2020 where his work focuses on the provision of assessment and interventions relating to problematic sexual behaviour in children and their families where trauma is a significant contributing factor. Before joining LFF, Ian worked with Forensic CAMHS and with Action for Children’s High Intensity Placement Support Service for Looked after Children. Ian also has extensive experience working as a Military Psychologist with the Irish Defence Forces.
