Teachers and care professionals may interact with young people who might be at risk of sexual exploitation. These professionals might be interested in Barnado’s award-winning smartphone app, designed to educate young people about the dangers.
Wud U? is a free educational tool that aims to show young people the behaviours that could put them at risk of being sexually exploited, through illustrated, interactive stories.
Wud U? will help you to present sensitive issues to your group of young people. You will be able to discuss the decisions they would make if they were in the same situations as the characters in the stories. The app also offers advice about these decisions.
The Wud U? app will help you to:
- demonstrate how young people can make safe decisions
- provide your group with more information about sexual exploitation, from a trusted source
- raise awareness of sexual exploitation by sharing the app with other professionals.
