Parents and Carers

Our Core Values

At Respected, we take the education of your children very seriously. At the heart of our charity is our strong conviction that each child/young person is unique and valuable. We believe in their ability to make healthy choices when they have access to the appropriate information, tools and support.

Everybody deserves healthy and fulfilling relationships.

Transparency and Safety

We understand that learning about relationships and sex in today’s culture covers difficult issues.

Many parents and carers are rightly concerned about what their children may be learning.

We also recognise the vital role that you play in educating your child in this important area of their lives.

What will they learn?

Find out exactly what your child will be learning through the Respected Programme.
