Emotional wellbeing and the media
With the growth in film,video and website content, alongside technological developments making the access to these easier and, at times, less regulated or filtered, teachers and parents are ever more aware of the need to help young people to safely navigate the world of visual media. This is something young people themselves also worry about.
These PSHE education lessons use the context of films and the BBFC’s film classification to explore decision-making, the affects of film on wellbeing and representation of mental health in film. They have been designed to help students to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their viewing, and equip them to choose what is right for them and avoid what is not.
This two-lesson resource is aimed at Key Stage Four learners, or children aged between 14 and 16, and has achieved the PSHE Association Quality Mark – awarded exclusively to lessons that meet best practice principles for safe and effective PSHE education. The lessons promote self-regulation, independent choice, critical thinking, and safeguarding; vital and transferable skills for life.
Emotional wellbeing and the media aligns with the Department of Education’s statutory RSHE guidance and the PSHE Association Programme of Study.
