Resilience, Rights & Respectful Relationships

Building respectful relationships

As a parent, you play an important role in helping your kids build self-respect and knowing how to be respectful to others. This is actively taught within our Resilience Rights and Respectful Relationships curriculum.

Rights to be safe, valued and cared for
Listening and taking turns to be heard
Being supported to make our own choices
Freedom to disagree without being put down, called names or hurt
Being accepted as a person even if you’ve made a mistake

Sexual activity is legal and consent is sought
Not behaving in a way that is intimidating especially during conflict
Supporting others needs and wellbeing
