Outside the Box facilitator training

Outside the Box has been developed by the Sex Education Forum and National Children’s Bureau through funding from Comic Relief. It is a personal development programme about sex and relationships for young people that aims to prevent sexual exploitation.

The Outside the Box programme is:

  • Suitable for use with small groups of young people aged 11+
  • Ideal to use with young people at higher risk of sexual exploitation
  • Eight workshop sessions and a pre-assessment tool that you run with your young people.

If you are working with young people at risk this programme will be very valuable. It enables discussion about a wide range of interconnected personal and relationship issues including consent, identity, anatomy, sexual health and services, gender, sexual orientation, relationships and sexual exploitation. 

Participation in Outside the Box is made safe for young people through the use of distancing techniques, but it can also prompt one-to-one disclosures.
