Streetwise works nationally with Jewish schools and community organisations, enhancing the personal safety and personal development of young Jewish people to support their physical and emotional wellbeing. We are a partnership project between Maccabi GB and CST delivering programming to secondary schools, community organisations and youth movements across the UK.

Our programmes fall into 5 areas of work: Anti-Bullying, Online Safety, Personal Safety, Relationships & Sex Education and Leadership. Through these topics, Streetwise empowers and advises young people in a safe and informal environment, giving them the skills, knowledge and confidence to make educated positive decisions.

• To encourage young people to use inclusive and kind language to describe themselves and others

This relates directly to the following PSHE National Curriculum targets:

Health and Wellbeing:
H1. What positively and negatively affects their physical, mental and emotional health.
H4. To recognise how images in the media (and online) do not always reflect reality and can affect how people feel about themselves.

1.2 Sex and Relationship Education Guidance Primary Schools
1.12 - The Department recommends that all primary schools should have a sex and relationship education programme tailored to the age and the physical and emotional maturity of the children. It should ensure that both boys and girls know about puberty and how a baby is born – as set out in Key Stages 1 and 2 of the National Science Curriculum. Section 3 gives further information on what should be taught at these stages and how this should be rooted in the PSHE framework.
1.13 All children, including those who develop earlier than the average, need to know about puberty before they experience the onset of physical changes. In the early primary school years, education about relationships needs to focus on friendship, bullying and the building of self-esteem. […]
