Education on the law surrounding relationships and sex as well as a better understanding of the criminal justice system and support agencies available if they need help. Educating students will mean they are better able to understand what is legal and illegal and make informed choices within their relationships. Over time, this should reduce incidents of abuse and harassment. In the inevitable case where offences still occur, students will be aware of their rights and know where to access support.

Follow your usual safeguarding protocol. It is important to carefully balance when the police should be invovled. If further ongoing advice is needed, please see the advice subscription product we offer.

A little about The Real Project's founder, Ciara: Hi! I'm Ciara (pronounced Kiera) and I was born and raised in South London and attended an all-girls private school. I went on to graduate from university and became a teacher before joining the Metropolitan Police as a Detective Constable. Studying the law and various relationship-related offences opened my eyes to my legal rights as a woman and I began to realise that my lack of relationship and sex education at school meant my friends and I had been victims of a variety of criminal offences for years and not known. This was further reinforced when I worked on different domestic abuse units in South London with hundreds of victims who were also not aware of their rights and the laws there to protect them. Whilst serving in the police, I conducted an independent survey of 78 women’s experiences of relationship and sex education. Just under 75% stated it had prepared them for their teenage years ‘not at all’ or ‘not very well’. 72% had gone on to be victims of domestic or sexual violence or harassment with only 19.4% reporting this to the police. Most significantly, a large proportion of women reported not knowing that what had happened to them at the time was indeed a criminal offence. I began to discuss my experiences with friends, family and others on social media and realised this problem was much bigger than just my own and so… The Real Project was born!

School Inspections - relationship and sex education (RSE) is compulsory in all secondary schools and the 2021 RSE Ofsted statutory guidance details a wide range of violence against women and girls (VAWG) and legal education that should be covered. Parent/carer reassurance– the Everyone’s Invited campaign and subsequent Ofsted review highlighted to parents the issue of sexual harassment and violence within many schools. Working alongside us will reassure parents and carers that their children are being educated to know their rights and the law and that your school has a zero tolerance stance. Real life education - the media constantly reminds us that domestic abuse does not discriminate and affects people from every walk of life. We must educate children on the law and their rights so when they enter intimate relationships, they are armed with the correct knowledge and not reliant on social media and porn for education. Teacher work-load – there is an ever-increasing pressure on schools and teachers to be experts in every field, on top of their already vast work load. We can relieve some of that pressure and provide a package perfect for your school.

- Staff’s lack of confidence delivering relationship and sex education (RSE) topics - RSE teaching did not give students the right information and advice in order to make the right choices - Schools and safeguarding partners were not closely aligned, did not fully understand the extent and significance of sexual harassment in schools or the local area

Parents can often worry about relationship and sex education (RSE) and the impact this can have on their children. This is why we offer a parent seminar in order to alleviate any concerns and share with them what we will be sharing with their children as well as using it as an opportunity to continue to spread education about the law. Our workshops solely focus on the law around relationship/familial offences.

- Each taster session is roughly two hours long, but these can be adapted to suit your timetable. - The parent/carer workshop is 90 minutes. - The teacher/governor sessions are two 90 minute sessions. These can be combined into one three-hour session. Please use the enquiry form below for further information.

The Real Project offers a taster session for universities that we recommend is delivered during Welcome Week in Freshers. The session offers an introduction into the law surrounding relationships, sex and image-based abuse as well as where to access support or further advice. It can be adapted to suit your timetable.

- Real life education for students - 68% of students experience sexual harassment at university or college (EVAW): the media constantly reminds us that domestic abuse (DA) and violence against women and girls (VAWG) does not discriminate and affects people from every walk of life. We must educate young people on the law and their rights so when they enter intimate relationships, they are armed with the correct knowledge and not reliant on social media and porn for education. - Reassurance for students' parents - Students are more likely than others to be subjected to sexual assault (OfS): the Everyone’s Invited campaign and subsequent Ofsted review highlighted to parents a huge issue within many schools surrounding sexual harassment and violence. Given the sexual violence crisis in schools, it is likely to continue into universities where students have more independence and lose their direct support networks. By providing this to students in their Welcome Week, loved ones can feel reassured that your establishment takes VAWG and DA seriously. - Student empowerment – 29% of students don’t even know how to make a report to the University (Revolt): The Real Project firmly believes in empowering students to become advocates for change and know how and where to get support if they need it. We provide them with the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to raise awareness, challenge societal norms, and contribute to the prevention of VAWG. By fostering a culture of empowerment and accountability, universities can create safer and more inclusive environments for their student body. - Ongoing support and collaboration - The Real Project is committed to establishing long-term partnerships with universities. We provide ongoing support, resources, and consultancy services to help universities develop and implement effective policies, campaigns, and initiatives. By collaborating with us, universities can continuously enhance their efforts to combat VAWG and promote healthy relationships.

We offer two types of training sessions: - student wellbeing package - giving an overall understanding on the law surrounding relationships and sex as well as support available - student's union/night life package - giving more targeted on the law surrounding offences such as spiking, sexual harassment and sexual offences as well as how best to support any victims who make disclosures

The Everyone's Invited campaign highlighted an epidemic of sexual abuse within schools, which has also been reiterated by Ofsted's 2021 review. Research released by Revolt showed the same issues within universities. The media constantly reminds us that domestic abuse does not discriminate and affects people from every walk of life. People of all ages must be educated on the law and their rights so when they enter intimate relationships, they know what is legal and illegal and where to access help should they need it. Local services that work with young people or vulnerable adults are likely to come into regular contact with victims of abuse. If staff have a better understanding of the law and support agencies which can help, they will be able to recognise illegal offences and spread this education to those that need it most.
