Power in relationships: What are my boundaries?

2 lessons

Threads

  • Relationships

Description

This unit helps pupils understand personal boundaries. Pupils learn how to say ‘no’ confidently, recognise when others’ boundaries should be respected, and know what to do if those boundaries are ignored or crossed.

At Year 6, pupils are preparing for greater independence and more different social environments. This unit is timely as it helps pupils develop self-awareness, assertiveness, and confidence to express their own boundaries while respecting those of others. By exploring these ideas now, pupils are equipped to recognise unsafe behaviour, seek help if needed, and carry forward a strong understanding of respect and personal safety into secondary school.

  1. Why saying 'no' is important
  2. Understanding my boundaries

  • Pupils should know that everyone has the right to feel safe and respected in all relationships.
  • They understand that friendships and families should make people feel valued and comfortable.
  • Pupils may already recognise that they can say ‘no’ if something feels wrong or unsafe, and that trusted adults can help if they have a concern.
