Schools

I believe that sexuality education is most effective when it reflects the unique experiences of each child. Recognizing that no "one size fits all" approach works, I offer bespoke Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) programmes tailored to the specific needs of your school, considering diverse social, cultural, and personal backgrounds.

My whole-school support approach includes:

RSE workshopsCurriculum-aligned that support and enhance school-based learning

‍ ‍Post-Primary Schools: Transition Year & Senior Cycle Students
‍ ‍Primary Schools: 5th & 6th Class students

Teacher CPD workshops to build confidence in delivering sensitive topics effectively.

Parents Information evenings to keep parents informed and involved.

Sex Education for Parents is a six-lesson online course on relationships, sex and pornography education. Schools can share this resource with families.

By fostering collaboration between parents and teachers, I help create a supportive environment where students feel respected and actively engaged. All programmes comply with National Curriculum Guidelines and SPHE Best Practice Guidelines, supporting schools in meeting Wellbeing Policy standards. My focus on Higher-Order Thinking skills encourages students to think critically and make informed decisions, reinforced by parental involvement at home.
