The Flag System consist of a user guide and educational materials. The user guide aims to provide a framework for the Flag System. The educational materials consist of a set of 44 illustrations, depicting situations involving sexual behaviour. Children and/or young people, and sometimes an adult, are involved in all situations. For each illustration a brief interpretation is given to describe the situation in the illustration.
