Watch out! Helping to make good viewing choices
With the growth in film, video and website content, and advances in how and where people can easily access it, teachers and parents are ever more aware of the need to support young people to safely navigate the world of visual media.
These PSHE education lessons use the context of films and film classification to explore safe viewing choices. They have been designed to help children 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, as well as introducing learners to age requirements in the online space. The lessons promote self-regulation, resilience, and safeguarding.
This two-lesson resource is aimed at Key Stage One learners, or children aged between four and seven, and has achieved the PSHE Association Quality Mark – awarded exclusively to lessons that meet best practice principles for safe and effective PSHE education. The resource aims to support children to identify BBFC age ratings and understand how they can use them to help them make safe viewing choices, particularly online.
Watch Out! aligns with the Department of Education’s statutory RSHE guidance and the PSHE Association Programme of Study.
