Real Respect
Real Respect is a research-backed programme that helps children and young people learn what healthy, safe and respectful relationships look and feel like.
Our Real Respect programme teaches primary children and teenagers a deeper understanding of respect, for themselves and others. Children are encouraged to be honest, share ideas and explore what respect really means – all within a supportive, well-managed environment. We cover key topics such as the rights of children, the right to feel and be safe, consent and the law and personal boundaries. This can be done in small groups, in a confidential one to one setting or as a whole class discussion.
By the end of the programme, participants feel more confident about how to interact with others in ways that are friendly, safe, lawful and enjoyable. They will be able to better recognise what are acceptable and respectful interactions, understand when behaviour from others is not okay, and who they can turn to for help or support.
We know how important it is to start conversations with children about healthy relationships early on in life. Research shows that children are exposed to harmful or confusing messages and images online at younger ages. That’s why Real Respect provides clear, trauma-informed, factual learning that’s fully mapped to the RSE National Curriculum, with safeguarding and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
Our trained facilitators create a safe, inclusive space where every young person’s voice is valued: no question asked within the parameters of the group rules is off limits. Answers from our facilitators are carefully given in a developmentally appropriate way and we use differentiated content with different age groups.
We have developed Real Respect to suit small groups of up to eight children or young people. It can be delivered on site at places of education. We have a range of materials appropriate for different ages/levels of understanding, meaning we can deliver the programme to primary pupils in year 5 or 6, and with teenagers.
