Talk Relationships: sharing of nudes

About this resource

Talk Relationships is a series of PSHE lessons developed by the NSPCC and the PSHE Association, supporting secondary schools to deliver inclusive, age-appropriate relationships and sex education.

This lesson helps students understand the risks of sharing sexual images and manage situations involving pressure or discomfort. It explores the impact of non-consensual image sharing and practical ways to keep themselves and others safe.

By taking part in this lesson, students will:

• identify pressures and influences that can lead to requests for sexual images
• explore ways to respond to and manage these requests, including how to seek support
• understand the legal and emotional consequences of sharing images without consent, and how to challenge non-consensual image sharing.

Further guidance

Due to the sensitive and challenging nature of the topic, additional guidance and signposting are included to support staff in navigating sensitive conversations. This also includes links to curriculum guidance and advice for responding to questions from parents and carers.
