We feel strongly about the safety of children and young people particularly in light of evidence that shows relationship abuse among young people is shockingly prevalent, and that includes on-line abuse. We want youngsters to be aware and educate them about the risks involved in abusive relationships.
‘What’s love got to do with it?’ ’ is an early intervention programme we offer to schools. This programme can be part of an assembly or classroom work, or can be offered during lunch times or as a drop-in session, where there is time for discussion and positive interaction with youngsters.
We believe that bringing an awareness and understanding of abuse and talking with youngsters in schools about unhealthy relationships, using social media unwisely etc. is a very important step in steering our young people away from becoming caught up in abuse. We are so glad that we can go into schools and deliver these programmes and offer help and support to pupils. We know we’re making a difference when a pupil says “I now know abuse is not my fault“
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Through engaging activities and discussion, our age-appropriate SAFE workshops help children understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships. The 45 minute sessions teach youngsters how to recognise different behaviours and the impact these can have, as well as building self-respect and the confidence to speak up and ask for help.
The workshops are delivered by experienced and friendly facilitators, in a safe space for children to learn, share and ask questions.
