RELATIONSHIP READY UK
Relationship Ready delivers preventative, interactive sessions on healthy, unhealthy and abusive relationships — for schools, alternative provision, colleges, apprenticeship and training providers, youth, community and sports organisations, and workplaces. We help people recognise unhealthy patterns earlier and challenge harmful attitudes before they become harmful behaviour.
Evidence-informed • Safeguarding-led • Prevention-focused • Tailored to your setting

Why Relationship Ready?
“We’re not just teaching people what a healthy relationship looks like. We’re helping them question the messages shaping what they think relationships and gender should look like — and recognise unhealthy patterns earlier.”
If we give people the language for manipulation, control and boundaries, they can recognise those patterns earlier and make different choices.
The focus is on behaviours and attitudes, without presenting boys or men as inherently harmful. Sessions create space to question harmful norms and strengthen respectful alternatives.
What we deliver
Practical, scenario-led relationship literacy for secondary schools, colleges, youth organisations and sports or community settings. Delivery complements RSHE, PSHE and safeguarding rather than replacing them.

Youth & community delivery
Youth clubs and sports organisations can be important places for early conversations, trusted support and prevention. Sessions are adapted to the organisation, age group and safeguarding context.
Youth clubs & organisations
For youth clubs, youth centres, charities and community groups supporting young people in informal and trusted settings.
Sports clubs & community sport
For football clubs, foundations, community trusts, grassroots teams, academies and other sports organisations working with children and young people.
Professional / staff training
Prevention-focused education and workforce training for employers, councils, community organisations, sports and community foundations, and public or voluntary-sector teams.
This training is not clinical treatment, legal advice, a formal safeguarding investigation or a substitute for specialist domestic-abuse services.
UK prevention context
Current UK prevention priorities increasingly include healthy relationships, VAWG prevention, harmful attitudes and misogyny, online influences and early intervention. Relationship Ready offers practical delivery within that wider context; it does not claim government endorsement, approval, commissioning or funding.
Safeguarding throughout
Content is age-appropriate, safeguarding-led and designed to complement existing RSHE, PSHE and safeguarding provision rather than replace it. Planning is tailored with the organisation around age, need and context.
Children and young people are never asked or encouraged to disclose personal experiences to the group.
Age and developmental suitability
Named safeguarding contact and escalation arrangements
Staff presence and support routes during delivery
Accessibility and additional needs where relevant
Content tailored to the setting and group
Clear boundaries around disclosures and support
