Our approach

Every young person deserves Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSE) that sees them, reflects their world, and champions their right to consent, respect, and pleasure. 

At Split Banana, our unique approach to this includes:

• Nurturing social and emotional health: focusing on the link between relationships and mental health, building more positive relationships with the self, helping people to identify healthy and unhealthy behaviours and supporting emotional literacy. 

• Co-creating relevant content: asking young people what is important to them and how they’d like to learn, working with our Youth Advisory Group to create content which reflects real-life experiences, constantly iterating our content based on feedback. 

• Championing positive social change: fostering respect for differing opinions and identities, challenging harmful stereotypes, building skills of empathy and kindness. 

A whole-school approach ensures that RSE is integrated across the curriculum and school culture. When done well, it can transform the way people relate to and treat one another, actively contributing to reducing gender-based violence, LGBTQIA+ discrimination, ableism and other forms of discrimination.

Our vision is simple: support every young person to build healthy relationships with their minds, their bodies, and each other.
