This report presents findings from a pilot evaluation of Naked Truths, a consent, respectful relationships and online safety education program for schools, delivered by Body Safety Australia. The evaluation examined how the program was experienced across three groups: year 5/6 students, their classroom teachers, and program facilitators within one case-study primary school. An online survey of school staff provided additional evidence of school-wide perceptions of consent education, gender equity, and the context for implementation. The evaluation did not measure direct student learning outcomes but instead sought to understand the conditions under which the program is experienced as safe, meaningful, and sustainable within a school context. Across all three groups, there was consistent and convergent evidence that students engaged meaningfully with the program’s core concepts.

Body Safety Australia is calling for stronger, expert-led professional development to help early childhood educators better prevent childhood sexual abuse. Rather than generic child safety training that often doesn’t equip educators to act, they advocate for high-quality programs focused on five key areas: body safety education, mandatory reporting, reportable conduct, the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations, and eSafety, each backed by national legislation and recommendations.
