Keeping myself safe

This unit explores different parts of the body, including those which are private, rights and responsibilities, appropriate touch, and how to respond to inappropriate touch. Students will recognise reactions and body signals to safe and unsafe situations and develop their help seeking and interpersonal skills, including how to express ways to show respect to others, and use No-Go-Tell.

Establishing and maintaining respectful relationships online and offline

Through this unit, students will investigate strategies they can apply to establish and maintain respectful relationships online and offline. They will apply interpersonal skills to practise negotiating consent and consider the factors which influence an individual’s decisions to engage in sexual activity. Students will compare the similarities and differences in the rights and responsibilities between online and offline environments and make links between personal decisions, contextual factors and personal values in relation to sexual behaviours.

Using my personal power positively

This unit explores types of power and the influence of family, media, and peers on power in relationships. Students will develop and apply a range of interpersonal and self-management skills through this unit. For example, they will devise a range of help-seeking strategies to respond to abuse of power in relationships, identify techniques to persuade people to seek appropriate help in a range of situations and apply and evaluate communication skills to ask for help.
