Please see full details on how to apply via https://lnkd.in/gsiR4WEQ + get in touch on hello@splitbanana.co.uk with any questions.

I enjoyed reading this research about resistance that some teachers might experience when faced with teaching s3x-ed - both professionally + personally: https://lnkd.in/embKJdky. It echoes a lot of fears I’ve heard from teachers over the years: ⚠️ “It’s not my subject of expertise” ⚠️ “I’m worried about saying the wrong thing” ⚠️ “I find the prospect totally terrifying” This is totally fair! Most adults don’t find it easy to talk openly about s3x + relationships, especially in front of a room of teenagers. Both ‘stiff upper lip’ + ‘cancel’ cultures have parts to play in this. As well as people’s personal traumas that can make talking about sensitive topics tough. Split Banana is here to help teachers: 💫 Feel more comfortable using inclusive language (you won’t get it right all the time + that’s fine, it’s about being open to learning + improving) 💫 Understand their positionality (you might have things to unlearn + it’s important to do that work before teaching others) 💫 Feel confident to have open conversations that keep young people safe (as with everything, it takes practise + gets easier with time) You can learn more about all our CPD training offers here: https://lnkd.in/eXqSY-R2 If you work in a school, come along to our free webinar: https://lnkd.in/eSgZEeRt

I’m delighted to be staying part of the Split Banana team as Non Executive Director. As ever, I'm inspired by the teams expertise and commitment to helping young people build healthy relationships with their minds, their bodies and each other. 🍌🧡
