Global Hand Sign Response
Global Hand Sign Response
If you — or another adult — see this sign, act immediately to protect the child.
The Global Hand Sign Response is a practical, step-by-step tool designed to help you respond immediately and effectively if a child signals they are experiencing sexual abuse — whether you know the child or not.
Created by Gloria Masters and Scott Beard, this essential resource equips you with the confidence to act and provide support, should it be required.
The Global Hand Sign Response is available for download in two versions. Please share with educators, caregivers, health professionals, coaches, and community members committed to protecting children and responding to disclosures of abuse.
