Healthy intimate relationships: What influences risky sexual behaviour?

5 lessons

Threads

  • Relationships

Description

This unit examines factors that influence risky sexual behaviour. Pupils explore characteristics of unhealthy relationships, understand consent and capacity, recognise the importance of safety and trust in intimate relationships, and learn how alcohol and drugs impair sexual decision-making.

As some Year 10 pupils mature, they require an understanding of the factors which influence risky sexual behaviour. This unit builds on Year 9 safe sex education by examining how alcohol, drugs and unhealthy relationship dynamics increase vulnerability to risky behaviour. At this stage, pupils can understand the concept of consent capacity and pressure tactics, supporting them to protect themselves, make informed choices, and establish future intimate relationships based on respect, equality, and genuine consent.
