The lesson plans within Sex and Relationship Education in Primary School are separated into three main sections:

1. Relationships: This section includes lessons which involve pupils in discussing friendships, feelings and respect, prepare them for adulthood and enable them to develop skills in relating well to others. Pupils who learn the ability to talk openly are more likely to be honest in sexual relationships when they are older. This section of the resource enables pupils to work on the following: Self-esteem, Positive relationships, Honesty, Feelings, Friendships and Respect. The lessons provide a structure around which schools can build their own program.
