    All in one place

    One of the hardest parts of teaching a sensitive topic like this is relating to families and making them feel involved and supported when approaching the subject with their kids.

    We have developed a Parent Information Sheet which can be downloaded and printed for free which details the content found in each lesson and encourages parents to visit our website and check the content and resources for themselves. We have also developed Parent Permission slips for both Primary and Secondary which we strongly suggest be sent to families before teaching the units, although this does depend on your school’s policies, which we encourage you to check!
