Sibs Talk Lite (Secondary)

Siblings often have difficulties in school because of their sibling experiences. Sibs Talk Lite has been specifically designed in consultation with siblings and school staff, to help your school support siblings.

“I was always academically capable but would tell teachers that I felt a few steps from being sucked under by a tidal wave. They thought I was talking about schoolwork, when I talking about life more generally. This was not seen as the cry for help that it was.” Ruberta

What is Sibs Talk Lite?

Schools have told us that they are struggling to meet the wellbeing and health needs of all pupils.  Siblings of disabled children are an often overlooked group of students whose specific needs are rarely addressed. Our new free resources will help schools open-up conversations in PSHE lessons, small group work as well as whole school assemblies. Teacher guidance notes are provided along with the new resources.

Sibs Talk Lite Resources

• Sibs Talk Teens – Teen_Talk worksheets for students to use in PSHE lessons, in young carer groups or 1:1 support
• A set of Assembly slides  with notes to help your school start thinking about students who have a disabled brother or sister
• A short film explaining about sibling life and the help available from Sibs to be used alongside the assembly slides or used to prompt class discussion

Adult siblings have shared some of their experiences of life in secondary school – you can read them here.
