In The Picture is a comprehensive resource that supports secondary schools to address the influence of explicit sexual imagery. In The Picture does not provide a ‘program’ to be delivered. Rather, it provides guidelines, suggested strategies and a wide range of practical resources from which schools can create a whole school approach to explicit sexual imagery that is tailored to suit their unique community and context.

In The Picture includes resources for each aspect of a whole school approach, including:

---

• policy
• equipping staff
• parent partnerships
• community partnerships
• supportive school contexts
• student education
• evaluation.

In The Picture is supplied as a DVD, and includes:

---

• PDF manuals for school leaders (480 pages), teachers (365 pages) and parent and community partnership coordinators (129 pages)
• video clips of interviews – with young people and performers and directors from the pornography industry – for use with students (11 clips with accompanying questions) and as part of a parent education event (7 clips with supporting leaders’ notes, preparation guidelines and promotional materials)
