Respectful Relationships

Relationships can be difficult to navigate. Everyone deserves to feel safe, secure and accepted for who they are and to be treated fairly. This means valuing and appreciating people even if they are different to you.

Respectful relationships are not about changing someone but trying to understand who that person is. If someone tries to change who you are to who they want you to be it is not a respectful relationship.

You might not agree with someone but you can still treat them with respect. When you are treated respectfully and treat others in the same way, it gives you the confidence to be yourself. Harassment and stalking both online and offline can never be respectful. They are crimes under the criminal law and you don’t have to tolerate it.
