Our ‘Understand the Principles of Healthy Relationships and Consent’ programme

As part of our commitment to reducing the risks of sexual violence and sexual bullying we are offer a 1-hour training session suitable for students aged between 11 and 16 in the midlands. The programme ‘Understand the Principles of Healthy Relationships and Consent’ has been developed by our national training & development manager who is an accredited trainer and has previously developed age-appropriate programmes which have been used successfully in educational settings.

In these sessions we cover topics such as the law, consent, feeling safe, and knowing when it is the right time to become intimate. The session is packed with videos and exercises that keep the students engaged and switched on.

If you are interested in having The Survivors Trust come to your school, youth club or sports facilities or want to know more about our pricing system, get in touch with us via [email protected]
