To increase the emotional health and well-being of children and for them to know and demonstrate more characteristics and qualities of healthy, safe, and respectful relationships.

The 6-week Real Respect primary programme was designed with the aim of being as age-appropriate, relevant, and culturally appropriate as possible. We take care, upon receiving referrals, to be aware of the spectrum of gender and make up of different family units in the cohort. We take guidance from the school and the children about their unique cultures and religions; we keep equality and diversity at the heart of the conversations. Also, very important from our prior learning working is that the discussions must be child led and children must feel emotionally and physically safe. We take care to respond in ways that could cause no shame or awkward embarrassment.

Real Respect interventions use developmentally age-appropriate material. We explore how we take personal responsibility in situations where we interact with other people, with a focus upon respecting both ourselves and others. We want participants to learn how to reflect upon their choices and consequences. Most importantly, we want participants to have safe and healthy experiences with other people and we our long term strategy is to contribute to reducing problematic sexual behaviours amongst children and young people via open minded, yet safely boundaried discussion spaces. We want participants to know who their support network is should they experience any difficulties or worries they need to talk about when it comes to love, relationships and sexual activity. We work closely with school/college/referrers throughout the programme and share any safeguarding or other concerns, should we have them.
