Equity and Respect Kits

Respect-and-Equity-Kits-Image-400-x-300.png

The Equity and Respect Kits were inspired by the work of Level Playground and cover a range of topics to encourage children and adults to see beyond gender stereotypes and lay the foundations for respectful relationships.  

The books have been organised into eight themes and the books in each set vary in which age-group they are most appropriate for.  

  1. All abilities 
  2. Body safety and consent 
  3. Challenging gender stereotypes 
  4. Emotions 
  5. First Nations Perspectives 
  6. Gender diversity 
  7. Human rights and diversity 
  8. Respectful relationships
