  • Relationships

Description

This unit explores characteristics of healthy relationships and recognising abuse. Pupils learn about trust, respect and boundaries in positive relationships, identify signs of domestic abuse and coercive control, and understand how to protect themselves and others whilst accessing support.

As Year 10 pupils mature, they require a clear understanding of the features of healthy and unhealthy relationships. This unit provides essential knowledge about domestic abuse, coercive control and warning signs, empowering pupils to recognise unsafe relationships. At this stage, pupils can understand complex relationship dynamics and legal definitions of abuse, supporting them to seek help confidently, support friends experiencing abuse, and establish relationships built on respect and mutual care.

  1. Healthy relationships
  2. Recognising abuse and violence
  3. How to protect myself and others

  • Pupils should understand the importance of consent, equality and mutual respect in relationships, and recognise that power imbalances can lead to harmful or abusive behaviour.
  • Pupils should be familiar with different types of abuse from previous units, including sexual harassment, exploitation and harmful sexual behaviour.
  • Pupils should know from earlier learning how to report concerns and access confidential support.
