Concerned about sexual bullying or the inappropriate sexual behaviour of some of the young people in your school?

The Physical Contact Zone aimed at boys and girls is a powerful interactive programme, which targets sexual bullying and inappropriate sexual behaviour, in young people, that you can deliver in-house.

Teachers in a number of schools are growing more and more concerned after seeing their pupils interact in a "sexualised" manner with each other. It can be just touching each other or hugging and kissing in the school corridors. At times this sexual behaviour can be intimidating like blocking a students path or even grouping another student.

This behaviour creates a climate of fear and anxiety in schools which in turn can lead to pupil absenteeism and disaffection.

The most recent government figures show that in 2006-07 there were 3,500 fixed period exclusions and 140 expulsions from schools in England for sexual misconduct - anything from explicit graffiti to serious sexual assault, even rape.

Two hundred and eighty of those expulsions were from primary schools and in 20 cases the child responsible was just five years old. (DCSF).

We have adapted our 'Physical Contact Zone' programme so that it can now be delivered in-house by teachers, youth support staff and mentors. The programme covers the area of inappropriate sexual behaviour in young people in a candid and respectful manner.

The Physical Contact Zone works to reduce incidents of inappropriate sexual behaviour by making students think more about their actions and the consequences of their actions.

The Physical Contact Zone is a powerful interactive session aimed at boys and girls. Using power point The Physical Contact Zone is an engaging and candid programme that informs, educates and warns of the dangers and consequences of sexual bullying.

That students gain a full understanding of what is appropriate behaviour towards the opposite sex in a school
That students learn about respecting each other enough so as not to cross the line into inappropriate behaviour
That students learn that it is okay to form positive relationships with the opposite sex but to know when to stay outside of the ‘physical contact’ zone.
That students gain a clear understanding of the consequences of inappropriate sexual behaviour in and outside of school
That students learn a process for reporting sexual bullying

The programme is delivered using the Power Point presentation which can be found on ‘The Physical Contact Zone’ CD. A programme facilitator's guide is also provided to guide you through the delivery of the programme.

"The sessions were delivered in a clear manner that was accessible by all. Students were guided through sensitive issues in a way that prompted respect and a mature response. Pupils left the session talking positively and had a clear understanding of the issues discussed. Many thanks." Esther Holland, Deputy Head, Northbrook School.

We ignore this growing problem of inappropriate sexual behaviour in our schools
at our peril!

The focus of this programme is to reinforce to the girls that sexually bullying is and that it is not allowed and that it is illegal. The girls should be empowered to say no to perpetrators and also to report incidents of sexual bullying. This presentation should also allow the girls to become more aware of their actions around boys. The presentation should also help them understand how their dress sense and conduct can impact on boys. The style of delivery is encouraged to be open and honest with a major focus on self-respect.

The STOP IT Code of Conduct forms serve as a great complement to the Physical Contact Zone programme.

Using the 'respect' acronym contained in the programme the boys form outlines a code of conduct for the boys to abide by which will help them avoid any acts of sexual bullying.

Using the 'respect' acronym contained in the programme the girls code of conduct forms complements the programme by empowering the girls to be more aware of their actions, have the strength to say no and reinforces the benefits of self-respect.

The STOP IT campaign posters contain the ten actions listed in the presentation as part of the ‘Stop It’ campaign that are not allowed in school. These posters will help to reinforce the points made in the presentation.
