Dignify's research shows that many Primary School children are accessing harmful content online, which is leading to harmful sexual behaviour. The latest Government RSE guidance asks Primary Schools to develop their curriculum in the light of this by September 2026.
One YMCA’s Dignify Project exists to help Primary schools meet this challenge head-on.
We have a team of fantastic schools’ workers who can deliver empowering workshops to Primary School children and their parents across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Together we can build and share a new narrative for healthy relationships, helping children and young people thrive in communities free from all forms of sexual objectification.
Parent / Carer Workshops And Family Workshops
Parent / Carer Workshop
As children prepare to transition to secondary schools the risks of unhealthy online and in person relationships increases.
This is an engaging and informative introduction for parents/carers, helping them to be digitally aware and confident in supporting their children to enjoy healthy relationships.
These can be run independently, but we highly recommend that they are used as an introduction to our Family Workshops, supporting a whole family approach.
Family Workshop
Dignify’s family workshop is a one-hour, interactive and engaging workshop for parents and carers to participate alongside their children in Years 4-6 inclusive.
This is scheduled after the parents have attended the introductory workshop. Workshops can be run with each year group separately, or a combined group.
