SEND Growing Up Safe Cards

Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education must be accessible for all pupils. This is particularly important when planning teaching for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. Due to the nature of their SEND some pupils are more vulnerable to exploitation, bullying and other issues.

The BigTalk Education SEND Growing Up Safe Cards are a great resource for parents/carers, educators and other professionals working with SEND children. Using this set of cards you can pick and choose the scenarios relevant to the child’s current situation and learning capacity.

This set of 60 cards include relationship and sex education topics such as:

  • Correct scientific names for main body parts
  • Body confidence and awareness of body privacy
  • Respect for others and their personal space
  • Awareness of inappropriate and/or unacceptable language
  • Positive, respectful relationships (inclusive of same sex)
  • Their bodies and the Law
  • Appropriate / inappropriate, intimate touches to self
  • Appropriate / inappropriate, intimate touches to others

  • Sexual exploitation on and off-line, recognising this and seeking support
  • Grooming on and off-line, recognising this and seeking support

They have been informed by the Children’s Commissioner, the Sex Education Forum and through consultation with teachers, parents and carers of SEND children.

Our guidance notes which are also included have been updated and improved making them even more user friendly.

Feedback from school staff on BigTalk Education's Growing Up Safe relationship and sex education programme

"This is our second year with the programme and we wanted to roll this out across the whole school. The sessions were thoroughly informative dealing with issues sensitively but openly. The programme covered a lot of ground effectively. Our children are now confident, knowledgeable and will hopeful grow to be respectful adults once again, a great job. Thank you for spending the day with us."

Emma Shaw

Deputy Headteacher, Bedwell Primary School, Stevenage

“Really informative session for Year 3, delivered in a nice age appropriate way. Reinforced e-safety messages that we teach in school.” 

Aimee Benson

Assistant Head and Year 3 Class Teacher, Licoln Gardens

"The materials used are at an informative level, without being inappropriate. The language used by the team was at the children's' level so they were able to understand. The children were put at ease, to answer and ask questions. The section on reproduction was very well discussed and paced, to inform the children about sexual relationships, as too were the puberty and period sections. Very good tutors!"

Tracy Brown

Teacher, Priory Lane Community School, Scunthorpe
