<p>The Government is supportive of the work of Be Real, and provided initial funding
to launch its website. Caroline Dinenage, the previous Minister for Women and Equalities,
met with Be Real following the launch of their toolkit, to thank them for their important
work and discuss how we can best support young people’s body image.</p><p> </p><p>In
2015 the Government funded the PSHE Association to develop and publish key standards
on teaching about body image in schools, which I referred to in my previous answer.
That includes a list of resources on body image that have been accredited by the PSHE
Association, and the Be Real body confidence toolkit has received that accreditation
and so is included within the key standards resource. The PSHE Association is a trusted
source for teachers and schools, and I am confident that this is an important way
to support the promotion of the Be Real resource to schools.</p>
