The听second听edition of听Real Love Rocks听Healthy Relationships and Exploitation Educational Resources have been produced with the statutory听Relationships and Sex Education guidance听in mind. They cover lots of the issues covered in the updated听Keeping Safe in Education 2022听and have been designed in collaboration with young people bravely sharing their stories.

The resources have been designed to help teachers and other professionals educate and talk to children and young people about difficult issues such as consent, grooming, mental health and wellbeing, technology, bullying, pornography, sexual harassment and appropriate and inappropriate relationships.

Barnardo鈥檚 originally launched Real Love Rocks in 2014 and has updated and refreshed the resources to reflect and raise awareness of听different types of abuse and exploitation听that children and young people may experience today such as child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, radicalisation and extremism.

The resource packs can be purchased by听schools and other universal settings听working with children and young people and include animations and activities to aid interactive discussion about Children’s Rights, Feelings, Brains and Bodies, Healthy Relationships, Being Safe and the Online world in an age-appropriate manner.

As a听trauma informed programme听there is a new emphasis on all children and young people learning about emotional regulation, creating a support network of safe and trusted people and developing kindness, understanding and empathy for both themselves and others.

Primary,听Secondary听and a听Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)听Real Love Rocks Healthy Relationships and Exploitation Educational Resources are available now.

In order to make the resources as accessible as possible, with the collaboration of the Manchester Deaf Centre and Weald BSL, we have translated all the animations into British Sign Language and added subtitles.听

The packs are self-explanatory and no mandatory training is needed, however, we have developed a free ‘How To’ webinar that will take you through everything you need to know and useful tips on delivering the programme.听

In addition to that, for those who feel the need of a more detailed training to boost their confidence in delivering the packs, the Level 2 Training can be purchased on the website.听听

The training is a pre-recorded half-day online course which can be accessed whenever it is needed; it costs 拢99 per person. You can find all the information about its contents听.

Please note that you need to have your Primary/Secondary/SEND resource pack to complete the training.

Last but not least, the Real Love Rocks Team is always really keen to receive some feedback about the resources, so we have prepared a short questionnaire that you can complete either following this听听or scanning the QR code below with your smartphone.

Thank you very much for your collaboration.”
