The REaDAPt Educational Toolkit helps countries to address these points by providing an educational measure to help support children.
he Educational Toolkit was developed by the REaDAPt team following an evaluation of three European domestic abuse prevention education programmes: Relationships without Fear (Stoke on Trent, England); Filles et Garçons, en route pour l’Egalité (Muret, France), and La Máscara del Amor (Murcia, Spain). The Educational Toolkit consists of lessons and activities taken from these programmes, as well as new lessons specifically created for the Toolkit.
The Educational Toolkit can be used by teachers and practitioners to deliver a domestic abuse prevention education programme to young people aged 12-18 years. It is available as a Word document, so that educators can modify the activities to suit the needs, interests, ages and ability levels of their students. The Toolkit can be considered as a catalogue of activities that teachers/practitioners can choose from when implementing their own domestic abuse prevention education programme. The Toolkit is split into six modules and we recommend that educators spend at least one hour delivering a selection of the material from each module. In particular, teachers are encouraged to include Module 6 of the Toolkit in their intervention. This module focuses on how children can seek help when experiencing domestic abuse and requires teachers to outline legal, criminal justice and other services for those confronted by domestic abuse.
