We’ve designed a dedicated resource, in partnership with the PSHE Association, to support teachers in delivering the UK Government’s mandatory RSHE curriculum framework.
Aimed at KS4&5 students, this two-lesson pack contextualises the BBFC's role in regulating pornography, outlines the potential harms of online pornography and equips students with the tools to understand how consent works online and what they can do to protect themselves and respond to age-inappropriate content.
The first lesson, Pornography and regulation, looks at the potential harms of pornography, the BBFC’s regulatory role, and how offline pornography is currently regulated under UK law, as well as the evolving landscape of online regulation.
The second lesson, Technology and consent, explores how digital technologies and online content can shape young people’s attitudes towards relationships and sex. It equips students with practical tools to understand consent online and strategies to protect themselves from harmful content.
Each lesson is carefully mapped out with suggested timings, detailed notes and options for further support.
The resource pack contains:
Teacher guidance notes
2 x lesson plans
2 x PowerPoint presentations
2 x resource packs
2 x explainer videos from a BBFC Senior Compliance Officer
