Relationships
These sessions are best delivered in tandem with our work on BODIES.
It is our preference to start with ‘All the Relationships’ presentation as our first meeting with any group of younger students. It lays good inclusive foundations to begin further work around relationships & boundaries.
We then build on the theme of consent, and approach it from a variety of angles starting with friendship, looking at digital lives, contemplating romantic and intimate relationships and thinking ahead about relationships of the future. Being an active bystander, learning about ourselves & others, using critical thinking skills and encouraging help-seeking behaviours are themes that run throughout all of this work.
Our work fully supports your safeguarding policy and provision.
