# data[].attributes.subject
PSHE Focus: The Bystander Effect (Level 3 Learners)

# data[].attributes.body
✅ Learning Objectives:

By the end of the session, students should be able to:

Define the bystander effect and understand the psychology behind it

Recognise situations where intervention is important for personal and community safety

Explore safe and practical ways to be an active bystander

Reflect on barriers to action and how to overcome them

🧠 Key Concepts:

The Bystander Effect: When individuals do not offer help in an emergency because others are present and they assume someone else will act.

Diffusion of Responsibility

Social Influence and Fear of Judgement

Active vs Passive Bystanders

The 5 Steps to Helping in an Emergency:

Notice the event

Interpret it as a problem

Feel responsible

Know how to help

Act

📘 Lesson Activities:

1. Starter Discussion:

“Why do people sometimes do nothing when they see something wrong?”

Show a short real-life video or news clip (e.g. someone being harassed in public, a fight, or someone clearly unwell in a club setting).

2. Exploring the Theory:

Introduce the concept using a case study (e.g. Kitty Genovese or a modern UK example)

Use a simple diagram or flowchart to explain the psychological steps behind the bystander effect.

3. Scenarios Activity:

Small group task: Students are given realistic social/night out scenarios (e.g. friend too drunk, witnessing harassment, seeing someone spike a drink).

For each, discuss:

Is this a situation where action is needed?

What might stop someone from helping?

What safe actions could a person take?

Encourage role play, or provide sentence starters for possible interventions (e.g. “Are you okay?”, “Can I help you get home?”, “Let’s find someone to support you.”)

4. Active Bystander Strategies:

Introduce the 3 D's Framework:

Direct: Step in and speak up

Distract: Interrupt the situation safely

Delegate: Get help from staff, friends, or authorities

5. Reflection Task:

Individual writing: “What would stop me from helping in a risky situation, and how could I overcome that?”

OR create a "Bystander Pledge" – students write one sentence on how they’ll act in future situations.

🧰 Extension/Homework Ideas:

Create a short campaign/poster encouraging others to be active bystanders

Research and present on a real-life case of successful intervention

Watch and evaluate an awareness video (e.g. from “Good Night Out” or “Everyone’s Invited”)

🧩 Assessment for Learning:

Verbal contributions in discussions

Group scenario responses

Exit ticket: “One thing I would do differently after today’s lesson is...”

The research found that 2.2% of respondents reported having their drinks spiked in the previous 12 months, which is equivalent to around 1.2 million UK adults every year in the UK.

90% were not reported

11% of UK adults reported being spiked at some point in their lives – 13% of females think they have previously been a victim of drink spiking and 9% of males

LGBTQ+ adults are disproportionately affected. Gender and sexual minorities are significantly more likely to report having ever been a victim of drink spiking (18% vs. 11%; 2022 Drinkaware Monitor survey) compared to cis-heterosexual individuals

It's never okay for another person to pressure you to do something sexual. The person you're with should care about you enough not to pressure you or make you do something you're not happy about.

Pressure can include:

asking you over and over again

making you feel bad for not saying yes or changing your mind

threatening to tell other people or share things about you

being told you owe someone sex

feeling like you have to do it because of peer pressure or things you see online.

It's not okay for someone to make you feel like you have to do something sexual, and being made to do something can be considered rape or sexual assault.

If you're being pressured, then we're here to support you.

Even when you've said yes or felt comfortable before, it's always okay to change your mind. And you have the right to stop things any time you want to.

Remember, it's wrong for anyone to:

do anything sexual without your consent

make you feel bad, scared or guilty for not saying yes

do something sexual with you when you're drunk or have taken drugs

pressure you or make you feel like you have to do something

bully you or call you names because they don't agree with your decision

threaten to tell other people or share stuff online

offer you something in exchange for sex

force you into anything or hurt you.

If someone does something sexual with you without your consent, then that's rape or sexual assault. And if you've been made to feel like you can't say no, then we're here to support you.

Nobody is owed sex, and it's never okay for someone to make you feel like you owe them sex or that you have do something sexual if you don't want to.

Whether or not you do something sexual is always your choice. Even if someone has done something for you, helped you or bought you gifts, they have no right to expect you to pay them back sexually. Expecting someone to have sex or do something sexual in exchange for things is sometimes called sexual exploitation, and it's a type of sexual abuse.

If you're worried about owing someone sex, it's important to talk about it. You can ask about it anonymously on the message boards, talk to an adult you trust or speak to Childline any time.

Sexting is when you send a sexual message, photo or video to someone else. It could be a picture of you, but sometimes people send pictures and videos of other people.

If you're thinking about sexting or sending a nude, it's important to think about what might happen to anything you send, whether it's what you want and how it might make someone else feel. We've got lots of advice to help before you decide.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Relationships can be confusing. Especially if you really like someone but they do things you're not comfortable with.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
4 tips to ask someone out:

Spend more time with them to see if you both get along.

Find out more about them to see if you have similar interests.

Choose a time when you're both free to talk and are alone if you're embarrassed to talk to them with others around.

You don't have to ask them out, you could ask them to hang out or go to the park.

Check out our message boards for advice from other people in similar situations.

It isn't illegal to have a relationship with someone older or younger than you, but there is a legal age for sex, to protect young people.

When you're 16 you can legally have sex with someone aged 16 or older, as long as you both agreed to do this and gave your consent.

It's illegal to have sex with someone under the age of 16. This includes oral sex and sharing sexual messages.

If you're under the age of 18, it's illegal for anyone to take, have or pressure you for a sexual photo of you, including sharing sexual images.

Even if you're over 16, it can be illegal for someone to have sex with you if they work with you in a professional way, like a teacher.

Remember, in relationships, one person might have more sexual experience. This can sometimes make the other person feel pressure to do things they don't want to, or say yes when they don't fully understand what's being asked.

It's important that you're comfortable with anything you do and that you understand and consent to any sexual activity.

Dating someone older or younger can feel exciting, and you might be attracted to their maturity, confidence or independence. Or you might see them as more trusting or fun than people your age.

These might feel like positive reasons to start a relationship but they could affect how equal you feel, or how the relationship works.

When one person has more experience, knowledge, money or material things, it can sometimes feel like they have more power in the relationship or should make more of the decisions.

Remember, in a healthy relationship both of you should have an equal say in what you do together and any decisions you make.

Having a big age gap can make it more difficult sometimes to find places to go together. There might be things like certain films you can't go to see at the cinema together, or you might like different types of music.

If one of you is aged 18 or older, going to places with age restrictions, like bars and clubs, could be a problem.

You might be in situations where you feel pressure to go to places you're not comfortable with, or do things you're not ready to do.

Sometimes your friendship groups might not mix easily, or your family might not approve. It can be difficult to be with your partner's friends if you can't easily join in with things they do. You might be tempted to try to hide the relationship from others because you're worried how they might react.

If you're younger, you might not be able to drink alcohol, drive a car or stay out overnight. If you're the older one, you might be too old to go to the youth club or uncomfortable hanging around in the park.

If one person is working or has more money, they might make decisions about the things you do together. They may also feel frustrated if the other person can't afford to do things they want to do.

It might be difficult to understand their partner needing to study or feeling under pressure because of exams

When there's an age gap, there might be different expectations about the relationship and about the future. It's important to talk about what you want from the relationship and be clear about what your aims and hopes are for the future.

It can be really hard to break up with someone, especially if you're not sure if it's the right thing to do. But there are ways to make it easier.
5 things to consider:

Try to tell your boyfriend or girlfriend face to face. You might want to do this in a quiet place where you can talk without being disturbed.

Try not to break up by text or online - your message could be shared with lots of other people and this could make things hard for you.

Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend why you want to end the relationship.

If you don't want to be friends, don't promise that you will be. It could hurt them more if you lie.

Try to get your stuff back from them if you have given them house keys, money, travel cards or other important things.

If you're scared about what would happen if you tried to end your relationship, speak to an adult you trust or get support.

It's really upsetting if you're the one who has been broken up with, and it can take time to get over it.

It can sometimes feel difficult to deal with a break-up. But it's important to remember that things can change. In the days and weeks after a break-up it can still be hard to accept and you could feel hurt and let down. Many people feel different after a while and you could meet someone else in the future.

5 ways to help you cope:

Talk about how you feel with someone you trust.

Talk to one of our counsellors for support.

Check out the relationships message board and get support from other young people who might be in a similar situation as you.

Focus on things that make you feel happy, like spending time with friends and doing hobbies.

Take time to think about what is important to you and how you want things to be in the future. Try to express your feelings and draw how you want things to be.

Worried about a friend's relationship?

It can be difficult if you're worried about your friend. You might not know what to say or they might be secretive about what's been happening. We often hear from people who tell us:

'my friend's boyfriend is treating her badly'

'my friend's girlfriend is always teasing him and putting him down'

'my friend is in a relationship with someone who is much older'

'my friend is being forced to have sex'.

If you're worried about a friend, you don't have to cope on your own. Read our advice about helping a friend.

Lots of young people have crushes on teachers or feelings for them and this is normal. The important thing to remember is that acting on these feelings or having a relationship with a teacher is wrong.

It can be hard when you have feelings for someone like a teacher and you realise that you can't be together. But it's important to remember that these feelings will go away and it would be wrong to act on your feelings.

It's wrong because your teacher is in a position of trust and it's against the law for them to have any kind of personal relationship with a student who is under the age of 18. They could go to prison for having a relationship with a student.

It's a teacher's responsibility to work with you in a strictly professional way. This means that at all times they are a teacher and you are a student. If you left school or if the teacher worked at a different school, it would still be seen as wrong and unprofessional.

If you felt pressured by a teacher to do anything which you felt uncomfortable or unsure about, you should talk to a counsellor.

The internet can be a great way to meet new people. Some people find it easier to talk online. And it can help you say how they feel more openly.

But sometimes it can be hard to know who you're talking to. They might not be who they say they are. It's important to understand the dangers of talking to someone you don't know and make sure you stay safe online.

Try to remember:

don't share your personal info or photos

be aware of your digital footprint - what photos and info is on the internet already

don't meet up with them unless it's in a public place and you have a friend with you

trust your instincts. Be careful of things that seem to good to be true, or too much of a coincidence.

It's not okay for someone to pressure you online. Find out more about online grooming.

It can be really hard if your family doesn't like your boyfriend, girlfriend or someone you fancy. Or if they stop you from being with someone.

It can make you feel sad, angry, confused or isolated, but there are things you can do to help:

Find out why they think this way
Your family might not agree with the relationship because of their behaviour, age, race, gender, religion or because of other reasons.

Talk to your parents about how you feel
See if you can work things out together.

Ask someone you trust for help
You could speak to someone you trust, like a family member, teacher or someone else.

Talk to us
Speak to one of our counsellors who are here to give advice and support.

Questioning your sexuality is normal. It's okay to be confused about who you're attracted to, or whether you're attracted to anyone. When you are confused it can make you feel alone, but we're here to support you.

If you're struggling to understand your sexuality, try:

looking at our information on sexuality

talking about it, you could speak to a friend you trust or ask other young people for support on our message boards

not putting pressure on yourself, it can take time to understand your feelings

expressing your feelings using our Art box.

There's no right or wrong way to feel when it comes to your sexuality. If you're worried about how other people might react or you just want to talk, try speaking to a Childline counsellor.

Report any images that are posted online
You can usually make a report of images posted of you to the website they're on. If you're under 18, you can also report what's happened to the IWF anonymously and they can help you to take them down.

Get help with bullying
Being bullied is never okay. If you're being made fun of or hurt after what's happened, we've got advice to help.

Sharing nudes, dick pics, videos or sexual messages with someone who doesn't consent to receive them isn't okay. And it can be against the law.

There are lots of reasons you might want to send a nude. But if you're not sure whether you should or you're being pressured by friends, it can help to talk to an adult you trust about what's happened.

If you've shared a message or picture with someone who doesn't want it:

Apologise about what you've sent

Stop contacting the person if they don't want you to talk to them

Don't pressure the person to send images or messages back

Talk to someone you trust about what happened

Find out more about what should happen in a healthy relationship.

If you're over 18 and someone's shared a naked or sexual picture of you without your consent, they're breaking the law.

Lots of social media sites can take images of you down if you report it, but this may not always happen. If someone is threatening you, or has posted a picture of you online, there's a special Revenge Pornography Helpline to help people who are over 18.

You can also get support from The Mix.

Part of being in a healthy relationship is being able to say what you think without being scared or worried.

Try saying how you feel when you're asked for a nude or sexual message. If someone doesn't listen or you don't feel able to, it can help to talk to us.

It can be tough when your friends talk about sexting or say they're sending nudes. But it can help to remember:

even if someone says they're sending nudes, they might not be

once you send a nude, you lose control of it and it can be shared online or with other people

a good friend should never make you do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Try our advice on standing up to friends.

When you're under 18 it's against the law to send nudes or sexual videos of you to anyone else. It's also against the law for anyone to save or share a nude or sexual video of you. Even if it's a selfie or they're under 18 too.
Will I get in trouble?
You can get in trouble if you threaten to share a nude, even if you don't actually do it.

Only the police can decide if they're going to charge you with an offence after sexting. But it's important to remember that the law is there to protect you, not get you into trouble.

If you're both under 18 and you're in a healthy relationship, then it's unlikely the police would want to prosecute either of you.

Sexting between adults is legal. But it's against the law to send a nude or any kind of sexual image or video to someone under 18.

Asking for or viewing sexual images of someone who's under 18 is a crime.

It's also against the law to send a nude or video of someone who was under 18 at the time, but is an adult now.
Sharing other people's nudes
Sharing someone else's nudes or sexual videos without their consent is against the law, even when they're over 18. It can also be against the law to threaten to share someone's nudes or videos.

Snaps automatically disappear once the person you sent them to has seen them. But they can still take screenshots and save them. That means that they'll have a copy of the photo even after Snapchat deletes it.

Follow our instructions below or find more information at the Snapchat website.
Make a report
If you receive an abusive or worrying message. It can help to take a screenshot so you've got a record. The person who messaged you will see if you've taken a screenshot, so it's important to think about how they might react if they knew.

Can I delete an image I've sent to someone?
When you share images on WhatsApp, the person receiving them will then have copies on their phone, which they can share with people inside and outside of WhatsApp. Even if you delete a message or an image from your chat, others may still have a back-up or screenshot.

Video chatting on WhatsApp isn't recorded automatically, but can still be recorded or screenshotted. Once this happens, you lose control of it.

It's important to remember that when you're using video chat sites like Skype, Omegle and Discord, whoever is watching you can record or screenshot your conversation without your knowledge.

Video chat sites can't delete images or videos that have been screenshotted or recorded. This is because they're saved directly to the person's device.

Some sites do allow you to report if something's happened, find out how to make a report on:

After you've made a report
Not all sites will take content down straight away, and sometimes they might not take something down when you've made a report.

Remember that you can keep making reports if you are concerned about something, but it can also help to talk to an adult you trust.

Even when you've reported something it can still have an effect on you. No matter what's happening you can talk to Childline or get support from other young people on our message boards.

Sex can mean lots of different things. People who mention 'having sex' are often talking about having sexual intercourse, but not always.

Having sex isn't the only way people are intimate or sexual with each other. There are lots of things that someone might find intimate, like hugging, kissing or watching something sexual with someone else.

It's always important to talk about what you and someone else is comfortable with before deciding whether to keep going. Nobody has the right to pressure you or make you feel like you have to do something.

5 facts about consent:

Consent is more than just saying yes or no

Wanting to do something once doesn't mean you have to in the future

Consent applies to anything sexual, not just sexual intercourse

Being in a relationship doesn't mean you have to do what your partner wants

You can change your mind about what's happening any time

Understanding whether your partner consents can be confusing sometimes. But we've got advice to help:

Use their body language

Look at how your partner is behaving, ask yourself if they're smiling, enjoying themselves, nodding or looking at you. If someone doesn't look interested, is stressed, upset or is pulling away, then stop.

Talk about it

Ask questions, check how your partner is feelings and talk about what's happening. Remember that even if someone says yes, they've got the right to change their mind.

Accept how someone feels

If someone says no, isn't interested or doesn't feel ready, stop and accept how they feel. Asking over and over or making someone feel bad for not consenting means that you're pressuring them, which can be a form of abuse.

Think about their state of mind

Are they awake and sober? Someone who's drunk, passed out or asleep cannot give consent.

If you're not sure, stop

It's your responsibility to know if your partner is consenting, not theirs. If someone continues to do anything sexual without consent, that can be considered to be rape or sexual assault.

It's illegal to have sex or do sexual things with without full consent from everyone involved.

It can be a crime to engage in sexual activity with someone if:

they're not able to give or accept consent because they're drunk or they've taken drugs

you're not sure whether someone is consenting

they're worried about being hurt if they don't say yes

you're in a position of trust or power over the other person.

The age of consent is 16. This means that it's illegal to have sex with anyone who's under 16 years old. This is the same no matter what your sexuality or gender is.

It's important to remember that the law is there to protect children and young people, not punish them. If you're both aged 13-15 and you've consented to doing things, it's still against the law. But it's less likely that legal action would be taken.

It's never legal for someone to have any sexual contact with you if you're under 13. If that's happened, then we're here to support you.

When someone over 16 is having sex with someone under 16, they're also breaking the law. They may be arrested even if everyone has consented.

If someone does something sexual with you and you've not agreed to it freely, then that's sexual assault or rape.

Nobody has the right to do something sexual with another person without their consent. And it's their responsibility to make sure know if you're consenting. It's not your responsibility to say no, and what's happened isn't your fault.

However you're feeling, it can help to talk about it. And you can talk to Childline about anything.

Communication is an important part of a healthy relationship, that includes being able to talk about sex or anything you'd like to do together.

You could talk about:

whether you feel ready

things that would make each other more comfortable

contraception

if you did something, where and how you'd feel comfortable.

Sex can be embarrassing to talk about sometimes. If you're not feeling comfortable talking about it, then it might be a sign that you're not ready.

It's never okay to make someone feel bad for not wanting to do something. But if everyone is feeling ready, then talking about things can help you to feel more confident.

Contraception helps stop pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Whether it's your first time or you're in a relationship, you should use contraception. There are lots of places to get contraception, including supermarkets, pharmacies and your doctor.

You can change your mind about having sex at any time. And that's okay.

You might feel pressure to keep going, especially if you've agreed before. But it's always okay to stop if something doesn't feel right or you change your mind.

It can be difficult to relax when you're worried about how you look or if you've experienced gender dysphoria.

It can help to:

talk to your partner about how you're feeling

take time each day to write down 3 things you like about yourself

think about ways you might feel more comfortable if you were intimate with someone else.

Building confidence can take time, but we've got advice to help.

There's no right or wrong way to have sex. And being intimate or sexually active isn't just about having sex.

Sex shouldn't be painful, even if it's the first time. If it is, then it's important to communicate with each other about what you feel comfortable with - it's different for everyone.

What Is A Situationship?

Let’s start with the basics: what exactly is a situationship? At its core, it is a form of a romantic relationship—decidedly more than friendship. But unlike a traditional boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, a situationship exists without clear labels, expectations, or commitment. There’s no real timeline, definition, or trajectory attached. Think of it as more of a non-status status—a situation, if you will.

Activities for safe spaces:

1.Create a checklist of 5 things that constitute a safe space for school, home or online.

e.g. inclusion, respect, consent, boundaries

Get the class to feedback and whether they want to change theirs

2.Task: Provide a short unsafe scenario (e.g., someone being excluded from a group chat). Ask:

What went wrong?

How could the scenario be rewritten to create a safe space?

Outcome: Students reframe a negative situation into a positive one.

Activities for risks:

Draw a “Risk Radar”: a target with three zones:

Low Risk (center)

Medium Risk (middle ring)

High Risk (outer ring)

Task: Students place scenarios (provided or created by them) into the radar based on perceived risk.
Scenarios might include:

Sharing your location on social media

Asking for help from a teacher

Walking home alone at night

Having your camera on in a Zoom class

# data[].attributes.body
At the end: Give each student a slip of paper or a digital form and ask:
“What’s one in school that we could do to make young people feel safer?”

1. Mini case study

e.g. A student in your year group is regularly left out of group work and often mocked quietly during lessons. Everyone knows it happens, but no one says anything — even the teachers seem to ignore it

Task: In small groups or pairs, ask:

1. What is happening here?

2. Why might people be staying silent?

3. What could an active bystander do in this situation?
(e.g. Report it, support the student, challenge the behaviour respectfully, etc.)

2. What happens next task:

Real life case study that created the psychology behind it

Scenario-Based Task: What Happens Next?

Work in pairs or small groups. Read each part of the story and choose what happens next. After each choice, we’ll explore what people could have done instead.

Scene 1: The Noise Outside

It’s 3:15 AM. You live in an apartment building. You hear shouting from outside — it sounds like someone is arguing or in distress.

What do you do?

A) Ignore it. It’s probably a couple having a fight — none of your business.
B) Look out the window to see what’s going on.
C) Call the police just in case.

Best answer: C — Call the police.

Many residents heard the noise but assumed someone else would take action.

This is a classic example of diffusion of responsibility — "Someone else will deal with it."

Active Bystander Moment #1: Call authorities even if you’re unsure. It’s better to be safe.

Scene 2: You See Something

You decide to look out the window. You see a woman struggling with a man near a parked car. It looks serious.

What do you do?

A) Shut the curtains — it’s scary, and you don’t want to get involved.
B) Call out to the attacker to stop.
C) Call 911 (or the police equivalent).

Best answer: C — Call the police.

In the actual case, someone did shout and the attacker ran away briefly — showing that even small actions can interrupt harm.

But no one called the police during the early stages of the attack.

Active Bystander Moment #2: Get help. Calling for help is action — and it can save lives.

Scene 3: You Hesitate

The noise stops. You assume it’s over. You're tired. No one else is reacting.

What do you do?

A) Go back to bed. If it were serious, someone else would’ve called.
B) Check on the person — from a safe distance or from your window.
C) Text a neighbour or alert someone else to help check.

Best answers: B or C — Check or alert someone.

Inaction often happens not because people don’t care, but because they assume someone else will take responsibility.

Active Bystander Moment #3: Small actions — like checking, alerting others, or documenting — can break the cycle of inaction.

Discussion Prompts (after the task)

Why do you think people chose to do nothing in each scene?

Which decision points felt most difficult or uncertain?

What could help you feel more confident in stepping in if someone was in danger?

Green flags:

Open communication, respect, emotional safety, boundaries are spoken about (seeing other people, personal), check ins, consistent behaviour

Red flags:

one sided investment, mixed signals, ghosting/inconsistency, avoidance of conversations/ no clear boundaries, second guessing or anxiety, downplaying own feelings, being a 'secret'

2. Get students to understand what boundaries they would put in place

e.g. I would want open channels of communication, I want to keep it casual but if you were interested in other people to tell me and be respectful

Knife legislation facts (can turned into a true or false activity or myth activity)

# data[].attributes.body
It is illegal to carry a knife in public without a good reason.
Even if you don’t use it, simply having a knife on you can result in arrest and prosecution.

Self-defence is not a valid reason for carrying a knife.
Saying you were carrying it to protect yourself is not accepted by the law.

You can face up to 4 years in prison just for carrying a knife.
Possession of a knife in public, even if you don’t threaten or use it, carries serious penalties.

If you’re carrying a knife for someone else, you are still legally responsible.
The law doesn’t accept "I'm holding it for a friend" as an excuse.

It is illegal to sell knives of any kind to anyone under the age of 18.
Shops that sell knives to minors can face prosecution and fines.

You cannot carry a knife with a blade longer than 3 inches (7.62 cm) without a valid reason.
This includes most kitchen knives, fixed-blade knives, and some utility tools.

Folding pocket knives are only legal if the blade is under 3 inches and it doesn’t lock open.
Locking knives or longer blades are illegal to carry without a valid reason.

Schools and colleges have the legal right to search students for weapons.
Staff can search students without consent if they suspect a knife is being carried.

You can’t carry a knife in your bag or pocket – both count as possession.
The law treats it the same, whether it’s visible or hidden.

You can be arrested for using a knife to threaten someone, even if you don’t physically hurt them.
Threatening someone with a blade can result in a prison sentence.

Carrying a knife as part of a performance or job (e.g. chef, theatre prop) is only allowed with a valid reason.
You must prove the knife is necessary for your role and properly handled.

During police knife amnesties, you can hand in knives without getting in trouble.
These are designed to reduce the number of weapons on the street.

Building on the knowledge with applied examples

Scenarios:

Scenario A – Peer Pressure

You’re hanging out with friends. One of them shows you a knife and jokes, “Just in case anything kicks off.” They offer to give it to you while they run into a shop. What do you do?

Questions to discuss:

What are the risks to you legally and personally?

What pressures might stop you from saying no?

What is the best and safest response?

Scenario B – Bystander Dilemma

You see someone at college posting a Snap of themselves holding a knife. It looks like a joke, but you're not sure. What are your options?

Questions to discuss:

Is this illegal? (Possibly – especially if it’s threatening or glamorising weapons)

What could happen if you ignore it?

Who can you report it to safely?

Scenario C – “For Protection”

A younger cousin tells you they’re thinking about carrying a knife because they feel unsafe in their area. What advice would you give?

Discussion prompts:

Is this a good idea? (No – it increases danger, not safety)

What safer alternatives could you suggest?

Who could they speak to for support?

# data[].attributes.body
Suggestions:

1. Carrying a knife makes you more vulnerable, not safer

2. Peer pressure is the biggest reason young people carry knives

3. Knife crime should be treated more as a public health issue than a criminal one

4. Schools should introduce mandatory searches for weapons

5. More should be done to support young people at risk than to punish them

I know about this

Consent happens when all people involved in a sexual activity agree to take part by choice. They also need to have the freedom and capacity to make that choice.

We all have the right to not agree to any type of sexual activity. We have the right to change our minds at any time, or consent to doing one sexual thing with someone but not another.

Sexual activity without consent

Sexual activity without consent is sexual violence.

If someone says "no" to any type of sexual activity, they do not consent.

But if someone doesn't say "no" out loud, that doesn't automatically mean that they have consented to sex.

If someone seems unsure, stays quiet, moves away or doesn't respond - this is not consent. Many people who have experienced sexual violence find that they were unable to move or speak - this is a common reaction.

If someone is asleep, unconscious, drunk or drugged, they cannot consent to sexual activity.

If someone is threatened, bullied, pressured or manipulated into saying yes, this is not consent.

If someone's not sure whether you are giving your consent for something sexual, they should check with you.

If they can see or suspect you're not 100% comfortable or happy with what's happening between you, they should stop.

What consent looks like

Here are some examples of what consent does and does not look like in practice.

Consent looks like:

Enthusiastically saying "yes!"

Talking to your partner about what you do and don't want, and listening to them in return

Checking in with your partner - "Is this OK? Do you want to slow down? Do you want to stop?"

Respecting someone's choice if they say "no" - never trying to change their mind or put pressure on them

Consent does not look like:

Feeling like you have to agree to sex because you are worried about your partner's reaction if you say "no"

Someone having sex with you when you are asleep or unconscious

Someone carrying on with sexual activity despite your non-verbal cues - for example, if you pull away, freeze, or seem uncomfortable

Someone assuming that you want to have sex because of your actions or what you are wearing (for example, flirting, accepting a drink, wearing a short skirt)

Someone assuming that because you have had sex with them before, you want to have sex again

Someone removing a condom during sex, when you have only agreed to sex when using one

Sexual activity without consent is sexual violence.

If you think you might have been raped or experienced sexual violence, you can talk to us. We will listen and believe you, and you can take the conversation at your own pace.

Consent in law

The legal definition of consent is that someone agrees to sexual activity by choice, and also that they have the freedom and capacity to make that choice.

Freedom to make that choice means they not been forced, manipulated, threatened or pressured into sexual activity.

Capacity means they are not drunk, asleep, drugged or unconscious.

If someone knows or suspects you do not give consent, the law says they must stop.

Age of consent in England and Wales

The age of consent in England and Wales is 16. This is the legal age at which a person can take part in sexual activity.

This applies to everyone, whatever their sex or gender and whatever the sex or gender of the person the sexual activity is with.

The law is there to protect children and young people. It is not used to prosecute under-16s who take part in consensual sexual activity with each other. For example, if two 15 year-olds have mutually consensual sex, they would not be prosecuted. But if an adult aged 18 or over has sex with a 15 year old, it is a crime.

The law also says that anyone under the age of 13 can never consent to sexual activity under any circumstances. This means that taking part in any type of sexual activity with someone younger than 13 is always a crime.

Although the age of consent is 16, the law has some extra protections in place for young people aged 16 and 17. It is illegal to:

Take a photo or video of someone aged under 18 engaging in sexual activity (for example a sext)

Pay for sexual services from someone under 18

Take part in sexual activity with someone under 18 if you are in a position of trust (for example, you are their teacher, social worker, doctor, care worker)

Tammy - Brian Haw - Peaceful Protestor or terrorist with extreme views?

# data[].attributes.body
Brian Haw set up a protest camp outside of the Houses during the lead of Tony Blair. Protested against the bombing in the far east. During this time The House of Lords passed a change in the Bill that allowed for peaceful protest making it possible for them to take Brian to court as a terrorist. This was eventually reject by the High Court. Brian stayed at his camp over 10 years 365 days a year despite having a loving family. He has since passed from Cancer and a small statue stands in his memory it sits at the School of Historical Dress just outside the one-mile radius exclusion zone of Parliament created in 2005 in an attempt by authorities to derail Mr Haw's protest.
