SLIP Programme

What is SLIP?

At Dhiverse, we offer a range of non-mainstream relationships and sex education (RSE) programmes that can be delivered in a non-educational setting, ‘SLIP’ is one of these programmes.  SLIP stands for ‘Sex, the Law, and the Internet & Pornography’, and the programme is funded mainly by ‘BBC Children In Need’ and with a small ‘National Lottery Award for All’ grant.

SLIP is an alternative and age appropriate RSE and RE (Relationships Education for primary age children), for young people age 9 to 24, with educational and/or behavioural challenges which have made it difficult for them to engage in RSE or RE in school, and where this lack of engagement is impacting on their behaviour and attitudes towards relationships and sex. These attitudes and behaviours could be putting themselves or others at risk of harm, or could do so in the future if left unaddressed.

The programme takes into account elements of the following Acts: Sexual Offences Act 2003, Principal Offences and Sexual Offences Act 1956, The Serious Crime Act 2015, Protection from Harassment Act 1997, Malicious Communications Act 1988, Communications Act 2003, The Protection of Children Act 1978.
