Something ’ – Now that the schools are fully open and the

Now that the schools are fully open and the channels of protection are fully restored, the campaign aims to raise victims’ awareness of available emergency services and to encourage reporting of abuse to a trustworthy adult. To help teachers address some of these challenges, the Ministry of Interior created a series of curricula and resources as part of the “Something is wrong” campaign. This year, many of our young people have faced problems such as domestic violence and broken relationships at a time when young people’s access to services is extremely limited due to restrictions imposed by the virus. Lisa Whitworth is director of PSHE at Sydmooth College and director of RSHE Ready, the Southwest School Connections, Sex Education and Health Program. Many teachers are afraid to expose their students, but when a young man decides to rely on you, often the first time to share your most difficult experiences, this is proof of the relationship you have built. Both new and inexperienced teachers will find clear and well-structured tools for a series of lessons, using the lesson plan as a guide. Lisa shares the important role that schools play in supporting young people who need to expose violence, especially during AVID-19. In November the Ministry of Interior launched a new campaign called “Something is wrong” to help high school students who have suffered a number of injuries such as sexual and physical violence during childbirth. The increase in time spent online significantly increases the risk of abuse, grooming, getting into inappropriate content, and losing support from a trusted adult. Lessons can be integrated into existing curricula, meeting many human rights education goals, and are designed for use in key stages 3, 4 and 5 to build a spiral curriculum that restores and reinforces students’ knowledge. I believe schools are a lifeline for our most vulnerable students, and now that they are back in school, we must make sure they receive the support they need and deserve. In my first class I talked to students about their time online during curfews, and the number of hours was quite amazing. Schools are a place where young people need to feel safe and where they can be brought in to make revelations. It is difficult for some students to go back to “normal” school life and demonstrate complex school behavior that may indicate an injury or unmet need that they cannot express. Experienced teachers in public schools know how to successfully address these challenges and can easily integrate these resources into their curriculum.
