We take our message into schools to encourage healthy behaviours from a young age. From teacher friendly lesson plans, to downloadable resources or visits from our Boobettes, we've got it covered.
A note on breast pain:
We appreciate that teaching about breast cancer may not be an easy task. That’s why we’ve created an online module that we hope will support you all the way. Packed with information, useful links, top tips and a reminder that you’re amazing and have totally got this!
Our school pack helps you to educate your students about breast cancer. In line with the RSE curriculum and a PSHE Association Quality Assured Resource, it’s the best way to get young people adopting healthy behaviours. What’s more important than that?
We want to make sure that all young people have the facts they need to feel confident in getting to know their bodies from a young age. That’s why we’ve created some super helpful posters which include all the information they need to be clued up on breast cancer.
Our school pack helps to educate your students about breast cancer and there’s lots of video content to dive into from our founder – Kris’ story to our boob check 101 video.
Our materials pack is perfect for getting your young people clued up on checking. Each pack contains: Leaflets about CoppaFeel! and the importance of checking, checking cards for a handy reminder of signs, symptoms and our free text reminder service, and stickers and badges to help you start healthy checking conversations.
Our Boobettes are volunteers who have been affected by breast cancer in some way under 35. They use their stories to deliver breast awareness sessions in schools and colleges all over the UK.
The #RETHINKCANCER Campaign was set up in 2013 after seeing the positive response to our breast awareness sessions in schools. It was born from the idea that all young people should have the right to be educated about all types of cancer in schools, not just breast cancer.
By contacting your local education authorities and asking what they do to ensure health education, including cancer, is on the curriculum, you helped the #RETHINKCANCER Campaign achieve its goal…
As of September 2020, health education is now compulsory in schools!
