Whole School Approach

to CAPVA Training

CAPVA Training

What is it for?

The Whole-School Approach to CAPVA builds on best practice to prevent Violence against Women and Girls in educational settings. Respect aims to help education staff to feel confident identifying CAPVA, responding effectively and referring parents, students and staff to specialist support.

CAPVA Training

Why is it important?

This suite of resources has been developed for secondary schools, helping them promote healthy relationships in family and intimate partner contexts. Many RSE resources do not address young people who are using harm themselves and this means young people may not recognise their own unhealthy behaviour. Without early intervention the harm may continue and unhealthy behaviours become embedded into adult life.

Respect can support schools to embed lessons on healthy family relationships within the PSHE curriculum. The lesson resources were developed by Respect in partnership with Investing in Children for the County Durham local authority with input from children and young people.
