Respectful Relationships aims to create a culture of respect and gender equality. The initiative equips young people with the knowledge and skills to build healthy relationships, develop resilience, and increase their confidence. It also supports schools in fostering positive attitudes and behaviours that promote inclusion and equity.

Our approach integrates Respectful Relationships into our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum and Homegroup sessions, covering topics such as:
