Respectful Relationships: schools and early childhood settings

Respectful Relationships supports schools and early childhood settings to promote and model respect, positive attitudes and behaviours. It teaches our children how to build healthy relationships, resilience and confidence.

The Victorian Government is investing $21.8 million over two years to roll out a holistic approach to Respectful Relationships across schools and early childhood settings. This approach will support the delivery of respectful relationships education, through the new Victorian Curriculum across all year levels.

Respectful Relationships is about embedding a culture of respect and equality across our entire community, from our classrooms to staffrooms, sporting fields, fetes and social events. This approach leads to positive impacts on student’s academic outcomes, their mental health, classroom behaviour, and relationships between teachers and students.
