Living and Growing was developed by Channel 4 in response to requests from teachers and heads for a resource that
promotes Sex and Relationship Education (SRE). This alternative version has been edited to introduce pupils to the core issues
of Sex and Relationship education while being sensitive to the diverse cultures and faiths they may belong to. This animated and documentary series
follows the developmental process, beginning in the early years at an appropriate level and progressing through childhood and adolescence.
The series covers physical development and reproduction, and encourages children to act responsibly in making and maintaining relationships with
others and to feel good about themselves and the choices they make.
Further guidance for teachers, parents and governors is provided in a booklet that supports the series and the supplementary INSET programme.
Please note: these programmes address sensitive issues. It is recommended that
teachers watch the programmes as part of their lesson preparation before
showing them to pupils.
