SPITE for Schools

 

The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre students deliver free bespoke workshops to groups of young people in local secondary schools. These workshops aim to educate young people on the law and issues surrounding the sharing of intimate images. Each workshop is specifically designed for the needs of the school or organisation, and we can tailor the workshop to adapt for different sized groups of young people (e.g. assemblies, classes, small target groups).

All Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre undergraduate law students running these workshops have received Safeguarding Training, undertaken DBS checks and are supervised on the day by qualified volunteer lawyers. In the academic year 2024-2025, we delivered workshops to over 1500 students to schools in Tower Hamlets and across the country.

Year 13 Teacher

As a school we are adapting our PSHEE content to reflect modern living as a young person and the themes within SPITE need to be addressed. We felt that the workshop hit the nail on the head and informed our students of the key information they need.

Year 10 Teacher

Your student team  have proven themselves to be great at speaking to teenagers and reaching them with a very difficult topic.

The people! Whether the people I worked with in my little group, the people in the seminars, our coordinators or the people at the school.

Student Facilitator

It gave me a fresh outlook on my law degree and was a perfect opportunity to blend my passion for community work with my budding legal skills.

Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre Students Justinne Shoshana Leibovici, Abhishek Sinh Jhala and Efstratia-Konstantina Rokkou have produced a video for the SPITE project. The video shows an example of image based sexual abuse and the law around sharing intimate images. View the video below or at this link: SPITE.

We appreciate that you may prefer to run sessions yourselves so our students have designed and shared a number of session resources which can be downloaded.  These can be accessed here: Resources for secondary school students and sixth form students.
