Respect,
not control.
Recognising controlling behaviour.
Building healthy relationships.
Attention should never cost someone their freedom. A practical, creative session helping young people recognise pressure, understand consent and build relationships rooted in respect.

You do not have to lose yourself
to keep someone else.
REAL PRESSURES. PRACTICAL CONVERSATIONS.
Care, pressure
or control?
A message can look caring and still feel controlling. We slow down familiar situations so young people can recognise the behaviour, name the pressure and consider safe support.
“You can’t see them if you’re with me.”
Healthy relationships leave room for friendships, independence and being yourself.
“Go on. You said yes before.”
Consent needs to be freely given. A previous yes does not remove the right to change your mind.
Fictional examples for discussion. Nobody is asked to share personal experiences.
WHAT WE EXPLORE
Notice it.
Understand it.
Respond with respect.
Recognise the pattern
Explore the difference between a disagreement and repeated behaviour that controls, isolates or humiliates.
Understand consent
Consider freely made choices, pressure, changing your mind and respecting another person’s no.
Practise boundaries
Find everyday language for personal space, privacy and respectful relationships, without putting the burden on someone experiencing harm.
Support a friend
Listen without judgement, avoid blaming and involve a trusted adult when someone needs support.
LEARNING THAT YOUNG PEOPLE CAN USE
A stronger voice.
A safer next step.
Storytelling opens the conversation. Guided discussion and practical activities help young people turn the message into something they can use.
- Identify examples of respectful, pressuring and controlling behaviour.
- Explain why consent cannot be assumed or obtained through pressure.
- Name a trusted support route and a safe way to help a friend.

PREPARED WITH YOUR TEAM
Relevant. Inclusive.
Supported in the room.
The right depth
Designed for KS3 and KS4. Language, relationship examples and discussion are agreed with staff. SEND needs and accessibility are considered in planning.
Space to take part
Young people can pass or reflect quietly. A school or youth-setting staff member remains present, with clear safeguarding and follow-up routes.
Learning we can check
A short learning check and staff feedback help assess understanding and identify useful follow-up. Wider commissioned work can include agreed evaluation.
Responsibility for harmful behaviour lies with the person causing it. The session supports healthy relationships education and the prevention of violence against women and girls; specialist support needs are referred through agreed safeguarding routes.
