BodyRight:
A Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention Programme for Young People
DRCC is offering a four day Training Programme to Youthreach, youth work and second
level school staff to equip them to facilitate the BodyRight programme.
The training programme for facilitators includes
 understanding sexual violence and its impact and the legal issues.
 working sensitively with young people who have been affected by sexual violence
 dealing with and containing any issues that may arise
 using mindful self awareness with young people
 the content, methodology and delivery of the BodyRight programme.
This training is participative and experiential. It is expected that it will also be relevant to
other aspects of participants’ roles with young people
.
Trained facilitators will be offered support and mentoring from the DRCC as they begin to
deliver the programme in their own Youthreach setting.
The BodyRight programme
The purpose of the BodyRight programme is to raise awareness as to what constitutes sexual
violence, to educate young people concerning the facts, the law, the meaning and legal
implications of consent and the impact of sexual violence. It provides a space where young
people can, in a non-threatening environment, examine their own and others’ attitudes and
behaviours with regard to sexual violence and explore how these affect the person who
experiences sexual violence.
The programme aims to empower young people to stay safer by increasing their awareness
and understanding, and by equipping them with skills to help them make their own decisions
and to hold their position. It offers them information on supports available to any young
person who has experienced any form of sexual violence. It also allows them to consider
their own behaviours and whether they themselves might be transgressing the boundaries of
consent inappropriately.
An additional module to address the issue of Sexting has been developed as an addition to the
main BodyRight programme
BodyRight may be delivered only by facilitators who have attended this training. DRCC
recommends that the programme is delivered by two experienced facilitators one of whom
must have attended this training with DRCC. The BodyRight programme is intended to be
used as an integrated part of or a follow on to a wider relationships and sexuality training
programme already being facilitated in the Youthreach setting. Those who successfully
complete the training will receive a hard copy of the BodyRight Handbook, all materials on
USB, and a copy of the DVD created for this programme.
