Invitation to take part in the Simon Hackett H-CART Pilot
October 5, 2026
Solihull is taking part in the UK pilot of the Hackett Continuum and Response Tool (H-CART).
The tool supports professionals to identify whether sexual behaviours are developmentally expected, problematic, or harmful, and helps guide proportionate safeguarding responses.
If you work in an Early Years setting, please take a few minutes to watch the introductory video from Professor Simon Hackett:

Your engagement and feedback will help shape the future development of the tool and strengthen safeguarding practice across Solihull.
