Talk Education supports Parents and Schools in their delivery of Relationship Education in numerous Schools across the Country.

We ALWAYS meet with Parents beforehand as Parents appreciate the support given and being able to ask questions either generally or about their own child’s needs or situation.

With the younger children in School the emphasis is on safety, they learn

That parts of the body are private
Correct terms for genitalia
About privacy
Appropriate and inappropriate behaviour
Appropriate/Inappropriate touch e.g. Doctors/Nurses as apposed to unwanted touches from other children.
Who are their “Trusted Adults” where they can get help if something is not right

Good RSE does not

Teach children how to masturbate
Encourage children to touch themselves.
Make children feel ashamed for touching themselves

Good RSE does

Teach children that their body is their own,
Teach children that they have rights and responsibilities regarding their body and other people’s bodies
