To think that a version of the freedom project should be taught in schools?

[Mabelface]

You only need to look at the boards here to see how many women are in abusive relationships, and if girls are taught a version of this when still young, it could help some avoid by highlighting red flags? Include boys by teaching models of healthy relationships.

Good idea in theory but not practical. We, as parents, need to teach our kids all this stuff, we can't leave every thing down to schooling.

It already is in the Scottish secondary my teens attend.

I agree that it should be taught at home. However, a lot of kids don't come from settled backgrounds so don't learn what good relationships look like. Could be incorporated in PHSE.

Schools do! Below is just one example of a sample of objectives from a Relationships education programme for secondary schools. There are age appropriate objectives for younger children which focus on positive healthy relationships.
Pupils should have the opportunity to reinforce or extend their learning to be able to:
R1. develop and maintain healthy relationships; differentiate between ‘love’ and ‘lust’; understand what it means to be ‘in love’
R2. accept and use positive encouragement and constructive feedback
R3. recognise and manage negative influence, manipulation and persuasion in a variety of contexts;
R4. manage the ending of relationships safely and respectfully
R5. recognise, manage and escape from different forms of physical and emotional abuse; how and where to get support; how to support others they care about to
manage and escape from abuse
R6. understand and value the concept and qualities of consent in relationships
R7. understand the moral and legal responsibility borne by the seeker of consent, and the importance of respecting and protecting people’s right to give, not give, or
withdraw their consent
R8. understand and appreciate the legal consequences of failing to respect others’ right to not give or to withdraw consent
R9. seek redress if their consent has not been respected; how to recognise and seek help in the case of sexual exploitation, assault or rape
R10. appreciate the ways different cultures and faiths view relationships, respecting others’ right to hold their own views
