SLIP Programme
Our short-term educational programmes are designed for individuals aged 9 to 18 – or aged 9 or above if they have a learning disability or autism – who have engaged, or are at risk of engaging, in concerning or inappropriate sexual behaviours. Participation in our educational programmes is entirely voluntary, and we require the participant’s consent.
These tailored programmes are designed to be age - and ability -appropriate. Depending on the needs and reasons for referral, participants can choose which topics will be most beneficial to them. The aim of each session is to provide participants with the information they need to make their own informed decisions.
Our educational programmes cover a range of topics, including Consent, Online Literacy, Relationships, Sexual Health, and Body Image.
Sessions can be delivered in small groups, ideal for those who prefer to learn alongside their peers in a safe, interactive environment. Alternatively, one-to-one sessions are available for those who prefer more privacy or are more comfortable learning on their own.
Please note that our short-term educational programmes should not be seen as a replacement for statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). The aim of the programmes is to address gaps in knowledge and understanding, therefore a participant should have engaged in RSE in school or for older participants, they should have a basic understanding of relationships and sex.
ABC sessions are free of charge for people who live in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough but there is a charge for people living outside of these areas. See Dhiverse Charges

Understanding
Sexualised Behaviours in Children and Young People
Understanding Sexualised Behaviours in Children and Young People is a workshop designed to support parents, carers, and professionals in navigating conversations about relationships and sex with young people.
If you are concerned that a child or teenager could be exposed to or engaging in *concerning sexual behaviours* either online or face to face, this workshop could provide you with the support you need to help them understand the consequences of these behaviours and have the information they need to decide whether to continue.
*Concerning behaviours include sending or viewing inappropriate and/or explicit images and content and inappropriate behaviours with or towards other people.
The workshop also gives an insight into the SLIP Project and how to make a referral.
This workshop is FREE for parents and professionals in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
(If you live or work outside of the county, see charges).
