Why this why now

As Year 11 pupils approach adulthood and consider future life choices, they are required to have an understanding of effective parenting and child development. This unit provides essential knowledge about parental responsibilities and the development of early childhood. At this stage, pupils can appreciate the complexities of raising children, recognise the importance of the early years of a child's life and understand the support available to parents.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils should understand characteristics of healthy relationships including trust, communication, respect and kindness, and how these apply to all relationship types.
  • Pupils should be familiar with different family structures from previous units, recognising that children can thrive in varied family arrangements with caring, supportive adults.
  • Pupils should know from earlier learning how to access support services for various concerns.
