⚖️ Legal & Ethical Guidance

Safeguarding students, supporting schools, and protecting trust

🧭 Our Responsibility

The S.A.M. Education Program was created by NaturismRE to help young people experience body confidence, respect, and natural connection — in a way that is non-sexual, age-appropriate, and culturally adaptable.

This page outlines the legal and ethical boundaries that govern all program delivery.

✅ Legal Safeguards

📌 1. Non-Sexual Educational Framework

The S.A.M. curriculum is:

  • Rooted in emotional wellbeing, nature mindfulness, and body respect

  • Entirely non-sexual, with no sexual instruction, contact, or implication

  • Built on universal values: consent, kindness, self-awareness, and care

The curriculum draws from international best practices in:

  • Mental health promotion

  • Social-emotional learning (SEL)

  • Ethical naturist philosophy

📌 2. Consent and Choice

Any experiential activity involving:

  • Barefoot walking

  • Light or minimal clothing

  • Transparent garments or body-neutral naturist practice

requires:

  • Informed parental consent

  • Clearly communicated student opt-in

  • The right to opt out at any time, without pressure or explanation

There is no requirement to participate in any activity beyond Levels 1–2.

📌 3. Regional Law Compliance

NaturismRE does not authorise or encourage any activities that would conflict with the laws of your:

  • State

  • Territory

  • Country

  • Education department

  • Child protection framework

All schools and facilitators are responsible for:

  • Understanding their local legal boundaries

  • Adapting content to meet compliance

  • Using only Levels 1–2 where uncertainty exists

When in doubt: pause, ask, and adapt.

🛡️ Ethical Safeguards

📌 4. No Exposure Without Consent or Context

No student should ever be:

  • Observed in a disrobed or semi-clothed state without prior opt-in

  • Pressured to reveal, remove, or display any part of their body

  • Touched or physically adjusted without clear, affirmative consent

All activities are built on:

  • Silence over spectacle

  • Stillness over performance

  • Reflection over appearance

📌 5. Safe, Private Environments Only

Naturist-inspired activities (Levels 3 and above) may only take place in:

  • Closed, secure, staff-supervised classrooms

  • Private family homes (with guardian leadership)

  • Designated naturist venues with legal protections

  • Retreat settings with full risk management planning

Public areas, mixed-use halls, or open campuses may only host Levels 1–2 unless additional safeguards are in place.

📌 6. Photography & Recording Strictly Prohibited

No photos or video recording are permitted during:

  • Light clothing sessions

  • Transparent or minimal attire moments

  • Naturist retreats or field trips

This includes:

  • Students

  • Staff

  • Parents

  • Visitors

All electronic devices must be turned off or removed during such sessions.

📌 7. Privacy, Inclusion & Respect

The program is designed to support:

  • Gender-neutral and culturally adaptive implementation

  • Private preparation/change spaces

  • Clear communication of personal boundaries

  • Non-judgemental withdrawal or refusal

Students with religious, cultural, sensory, or trauma-related reasons to opt out should be fully supported, not questioned.

📥 Safeguarding Resources

⚠️ Breach Policy

If any participant, educator, or guest:

  • Violates boundaries

  • Fails to gain consent

  • Engages in inappropriate language or conduct

Then the activity must stop immediately, and the incident must be:

  • Reported according to school policy

  • Documented appropriately

  • Reviewed with NaturismRE’s support team (if part of a registered program)

NaturismRE reserves the right to withdraw program use or endorsement from any educator, school, or facilitator who fails to uphold ethical standards.

✨ Our Commitment

This curriculum was created to heal body shame, not to cross any line.

It is a path for students to reconnect with:

  • Themselves

  • Nature

  • And a future without fear of how they appear

With proper care and consent, naturism becomes what it was always meant to be:

A return to honesty, equality, and freedom — in the safest way possible.
