Year 5 Unit 7 - Safe Relationships (Relationships)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year on year, culminating in this Year 5 unit on Safe Relationships. This unit will deepen students’ understanding of different family structures and what makes relationships positive and loving. Students will explore topics such as recognising safe strangers (both on and offline), understanding personal boundaries, and identifying different forms of abuse, including domestic abuse and FGM. They will also learn how to seek help if they feel unsafe or are concerned about the safety of others, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to navigate relationships safely.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme. Detailed schemes of work that are aligned to this unit are available in our free planning pack.
