A Whole School Approach to Sexual Misconduct in Education
LimeCulture’s comprehensive prevention and response model Embedding a whole-school approach to sexual misconduct brings together our sector-leading Sexual Misconduct Liaison Officer response model equipping schools and colleges to effectively support students/pupils affected by sexual misconduct, with our programme to train teachers to confidently and competently deliver education on healthy relationships, consent, and other related topics throughout Key Stages 1 to 5.
Schools and colleges can access individually tailored programmes of specialist accredited training and support to develop and embed their own SMLO model, and to equip teachers to deliver age-appropriate and sequenced Preventing Sexual Misconduct Education Programmes to children and young people aged 5 to 18.

Sexual Misconduct Liaison Officer Development Programme
LimeCulture’s Sexual Misconduct Liaison Officer (SMLO) model has been developed to create a cadre of specially trained staff with a school or college to respond effectively and appropriately to sexual misconduct, supporting both students/pupils who disclose or report sexual misconduct, and students/pupils who may be the subject of a report.
The SMLO model is specifically designed to complement and integrate with the role of the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and to support schools and colleges to meet their statutory safeguarding obligations as set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together to Safeguard Children.
Our three-day accredited SMLO Development Programme is delivered on a bespoke basis to individual schools and colleges.
LimeCulture recognises that everyone learns in different ways and we work hard to ensure our training is as inclusive and accessible as possible through using a variety of approaches within each course. We encourage you to get in touch with us directly if there are further adjustments you may need to support your learning and/or participation in our programmes.

Our ‘Preventing Sexual Misconduct Education’ (PSME) programmes have been developed to provide teachers – and those delivering Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) – with the confidence and competence to engage with children and young people across Key Stages 1 to 5 (ages 5-18) in an age-appropriate way about consent, healthy relationships, sexual misconduct, body confidence, equality, and other related topics as part of the RSE curriculum.
These prevention programmes have been developed to allow flexibility in delivery through bite size sessions, with step-by-step guides, resources, and lesson plans.
