In PSHE this week we have been learning to identify early warning signs – or ‘red flags’ – of an unhealthy friendship or relationship. The children used a role play with a script designed to help them recognise when a friendship or relationship could potentially become unhealthy or unsafe, or when someone might be trying to control you. They then used red cards to hold up during the performance whenever they noticed one of the following: control, negative comments on appearance, being inconsiderate of someone’s time or feelings and aggressive language. We ended the lesson by identifying the trusted adults in their lives that they can turn to when they feel like a friendship or relationship has become unhealthy.
