Respectful Relationships

Welcome!

This FREE video series has been made in partnership with Down’s Syndrome Scotland.

As a charity, all of our video lessons are totally free of charge to everyone. To help us keep building new content, there is a charge for schools/ college/ statutory bodies for the supporting resources to make your journey even easier.

Remember it’s accessible FREE of charge to families and to delivery partners (local charities/non-profits).

So let’s get started!

  • Welcome to Respectful Relationships series produced by Learn and Thrive.

    We start with an Introduction video from Kirsty at Down’s Syndrome Scotland, to explain how to use the videos and resources as well as the contents of these videos, and their focus on the key areas of relationships, phone use, and more.

    We hope you enjoy the resources. We don’t stipulate the rate at which videos are completed, but we would suggest each video is used as a springboard for further discussion and activities that can be fully individualised for your learner or group.

    Don’t forget to download the printable resources to support the activities in the video.

    You know your students best, so make sure you use the activities to personalise the activities and discussions for each of your students.
