Big Talk Education

Working with Schools

ERS (Education for Relationships and Sex) programme delivery

We work with numerous Schools, both Primary and Senior. We are experienced in one to one work, class sessions, delivering workshops as part of School Enhancement Days plus whole year group Roadshows. 

Our Programme in Senior Schools uses a Youth Work approach to ERS* delivery. Participation, empowerment and inclusion are fundamental to its success. The Team foster a non-judgemental, relaxed, receptive, atmosphere, which doesn’t shy away from sensitive issues. There is also time for lighter moments and the use of appropriate humour!  We currently deliver to Students from a broad social base: multi-cultural, urban, rural, faith and Academy Schools, ERS is delivered by the Team to Yrs 7-11.
