Was That Ok Tool

Was That OK is a new tool for young people to help them answer the question “Was That OK?” about anything sexual.

Young people told us that they often weren’t sure if something they had experienced was ok, normal and legal, and they didn’t know where to find out.

At the Headstart Kernow Digital Resilience project, we’ve developed a tool to help. The Was That Ok tool includes lots of information and advice for young people, including where to go for support, what happens if they tell someone (including the police), information about confidentiality and safeguarding, and support services they can access online. We’ve also included some ideas about how they might address a problem themselves. For example, working out what they want to say, taking a friend and screen recording messages.

You can learn more by watching this video about the tool that also contains advice about responding to young people if they come to talk to you after using the tool.
