Real Love Rocks Educational Resources
Monday 4th November 2024
Barnardo’s knows that much more needs to be done to protect children from Child Sexual Abuse, Exploitation and Online Harms, so is excited to have launched the second edition of its educational programme, Real Love Rocks, with support from the NWG and Bild (British Institute of Learning Disabilities).
Order your packs and your training place here and get £30 off using the promo code OPEN30 at the checkout.
The second edition of Real Love Rocks Healthy Relationships and Exploitation Educational Resources has been produced with the statutory Relationships and Sex Education guidance in mind. They cover lots of the issues covered in the updated Keeping Safe in Education 2022 and have been designed in collaboration with young people bravely sharing their stories.
The resources have been designed to help teachers and other professionals educate and talk to children and young people about difficult issues such as consent, grooming, mental health and wellbeing, technology, bullying, pornography, sexual harassment and appropriate and inappropriate relationships.
Barnardo’s originally launched Real Love Rocks in 2014 and has updated and refreshed the resources to reflect and raise awareness of different types of abuse and exploitation that children and young people may experience today such as child sexual abuse, child sexual exploitation, criminal exploitation, radicalisation and extremism.
The resource packs can be purchased by schools and other universal settings working with children and young people and include animations and activities to aid interactive discussion about Children's Rights, Feelings, Brains and Bodies, Healthy Relationships, Being Safe and the Online world in an age-appropriate manner.
As a trauma informed programme there is a new emphasis on all children and young people learning about emotional regulation, creating a support network of safe and trusted people and developing kindness, understanding and empathy for both themselves and others.
Primary, Secondary and a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Real Love Rocks Healthy Relationships and Exploitation Educational Resources are available now.
In order to make the resources as accessible as possible, with the collaboration of the Manchester Deaf Centre and Weald BSL, we have translated all the animations into British Sign Language and added subtitles.
The packs are self-explanatory and no mandatory training is needed, however, we have developed a free 'How To' webinar that will take you through everything you need to know and useful tips on delivering the programme.
In addition to that, for those who feel the need of a more detailed training to boost their confidence in delivering the packs, the Level 2 Training can be purchased on the website.
The training is a pre-recorded half-day online course which can be accessed whenever it is needed; it costs £99 per person. You can find all the information about its contents HERE.
Please note that you need to have your Primary/Secondary/SEND resource pack to complete the training.
Last but not least, the Real Love Rocks Team is always really keen to receive some feedback about the resources, so we have prepared a short questionnaire that you can complete either following this link or scanning the QR code below with your smartphone.
