How to use this resource to improve practice

This learning resource can be used to introduce children and young people to respect, what it means, and how relationships and friendships built on respect can help prevent bullying. It is suitable to be used with class-sized groups of children aged 10-16. The whole lesson can be covered in 45 minutes. For younger pupils, the session can be split over several sessions. It can equally be delivered to smaller groups of young people.

The resource takes children and young people through a series of questions and practical activities to help them promote respectful relationships on a daily basis. It will help learners to:

• Understand the meaning of respect and what respectful behaviour is and ways in which respect can be demonstrated;
• Promote inclusion and tackle prejudiced based attitudes and behaviour;
• Understand the effects and consequence of their behaviour on the wellbeing of others;
• Understand the contribution that respectful behaviour has towards developing healthy relationships;
• Understand that everyone shares the responsibility for creating a climate of respect and trust.

The resource also explains how the learning and objectives of the resources support health and wellbeing outcomes
