NSPCC: It’s not OK

It’s not OK helps children and young people recognise concerning behaviour and identify characteristics of positive relationships. The lesson plans, films and accompanying activities cover what behaviour to look out for and how to respond to it.

It’s Not OK reinforces the importance of building and maintaining positive relationships and recognising and responding to behaviour relating to:

  • online safety
  • grooming
  • sexting
  • harmful sexual behaviour
  • child sexual abuse
  • child sexual exploitation.

The films have a suggested lesson plan with activities for young people to complete to help them understand the issues that are raised.

Working with the PSHE Association, the NSPCC have developed a series of age-appropriate lesson plans and accompanying guidance for teaching young people aged 11-16 about sex and relationships.

Each lesson builds knowledge, understanding and skills on how to negotiate relationships in healthy and safe ways.

There is one overarching teaching guidance document and 14 lesson plans, each of which includes:

  • teaching notes with learning objectives and outcomes
  • a plan with lesson timings, assessments and suggested extension activities
  • slides to display in the classroom
  • printable worksheets to hand out in the classroom.

You can download all the lesson plans for each age group as one ZIP file, or download individual lessons.

The  supporting Talk Relationships eLearning course will help staff to develop the knowledge and skills to deliver the lessons
