Reshaping Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE)
Split Banana helps young people to build healthy relationships with their minds, their bodies and each other.
We are award-winning providers of inclusive and relevant RSHE. We do this in three ways:
The most impactful way we can help you is by delivering RSHE training, sex education workshops and school consultation through our whole school packages.
Why is RSHE important?
We exist to show you that great RSHE can be transformative and inspiring.
Young people who are given the space to understand their minds, their bodies and each other are more likely to become compassionate, respectful, healthier and happier members of our society.
For too long, RSHE in the UK has failed our young people. Without access to open and non-judgemental RSHE, young people are more likely to have sexual experiences that are detrimental to their sexual health - both physically and emotionally.
The fallout from these experiences can echo throughout an individual’s life. From experiencing sexual violence, poor mental health, body dysmorphia - the list goes on. Worst of all, it is those who are already marginalised that are most affected:
The LGBTQIA+ community experiences a disproportionate amount of mental health issues, violence and a higher death rate.
Trans people remain underrepresented, as are intersex folk.
Sexual health services continue to fail Black communities in the UK.
Disabled young people can be desexualised and their sex education is de-prioritised.
Everyone has the right to an RSHE that reflects themselves and the society they live in, so that they have the best chance of happy, safe relationships.
This has to change.
We train educators to do the same, increase their confidence and provide inclusive resources to use directly in the classroom. We provide training on topics like consent, sexuality and reducing harmful sexual behaviour.
Our relationship and sex education workshops represent and celebrate different bodies, sexualities, identities, relationships and experiences. We listen to what young people need and empower them to recognise and challenge damaging behaviours.
Our whole school packages make sure that schools and students receive wraparound RSHE support. This ensures there are as many adults as possible in a young person’s life who can support them to build equal relationships filled with consent, respect and enjoyment.

What’s Your Sex-Ed Story?
“I think I learned most of my sex-ed from Cosmopolitan and Sex and the City.”
“Despite going to an all girls school, we were never taught that women could and should enjoy sex.”
“All I remember is a teacher walking in with a briefcase. And inside was a fake penis.”
“We had to draw a penis out of a biology book. It looked like something made in Doctor Who props department circa 1970.”
