Our passionate team of tutors are trained to deliver high quality RSE education to pupils in Key Stage 3-5 after completing the ‘Teaching Relationships & Sex Education’ course provided by the Esteem Network.
Respect ME has Christian values at its heart and seeks to equip, empower, & build up young people to be the best they can be, breaking down the lies of the media to help them understand their value, giving them a hope and a future.
The impact of these courses is exceptional. Pupils gain the confidence to explore these matters openly and intelligently… Pupils’ behaviour, attendance and well-being increases and they begin to achieve more in school.

Key Concepts
RSE is now a compulsory part of secondary education. We believe we are uniquely placed to provide RSE and PSHE education that cares for the whole child, promoting a healthy sense of self, positive mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Families
Respectful relationships
including friendships
Online & media
the opportunities, challenges and risks of life online
Being safe
key aspects of the law regarding Relationships & Sex Education, personal safety and how to maintain mental health & emotional wellbeing
Intimate & sexual relationships
All our lessons help schools:
Comply with DfE guidance on delivery of RSE
Meet the PSHE Association’s core themes of Health & Wellbeing, Relationships & Living in the Wider World for KS3-5

Respect ME delivered a highly engaging and relevant session to our students on a Christian perspective on sex and relationships. Using a combination of her own powerful story, multimedia clips and group discussion, she empowered students to challenge their own perceptions and make wise choices for their future.
