NSPCC's Talk Relationships

The NSPCC's Talk Relationships supports school leaders and teachers to confidently deliver effective and inclusive whole-school Relationships & Sex Education (RSE). By taking a whole-school approach to relationships and sex education, your school can create a safe and responsive educational environment, that recognises, responds to, and prevents abuse.    

We want all young people to understand healthy relationships and recognise their right to be safe, heard, and respected. And we want them to know how to get help from a trusted adult if they need it. 

We’re holding 30-minute briefings on Talk Relationships via Microsoft Teams on:  

  • Tuesday 4 November at 3:45pm
  • Thursday 4 December at 12:45pm

You can also visit Talk Relationships: resources to deliver sex and relationships education | NSPCC Learning where you can access all the resources.  

 Talk Relationships includes: 

  • A WSA framework including a self-assessment tool and editable action plan (made in partnership with Life Lessons – www.lifelessons.co.uk )
  • Case studies showcasing best practice 
  • Elearning for teachers and school leaders (CPD Certified) 
  • 15 editable lesson plans with supporting slides and teaching notes. Including a new lesson for 12–14-year-olds ‘Preventing Gender Based Violence’ (made in partnership with the PSHE Association). 
  • 6 SEND-specific lesson plans (made in partnership with the PSHE Association)
  • A youth voice toolkit providing creative tools and techniques to encourage pupil participation
  • A dedicated helpline for advice and guidance on teaching SRE. Call 0800 389 5347 or email help@nspcc.org.uk with “Talk Relationships” in the subject line. We are available from 8am-10pm Monday to Friday and 9am-6pm on Saturday and Sunday.
