Stage 01 · What Belongs to You? · Introduction

What Belongs to You?

Before we discuss a sensitive subject, start with an everyday question about rights, care and safety.

You will not be asked to share anything personal. You can pause, pass or speak privately to a trusted adult.

Who should have a say about what happens to your body?

Choose the answer that seems strongest. The teaching point comes later.

Teacher View

Purpose Give learners a rights foundation before a sensitive topic.

Ask What helps a person feel that their voice matters?

Misconception Bodily autonomy does not mean children make every decision alone. Adults still have duties to care for and protect them.

Safeguarding Keep examples fictional or general. Do not ask pupils to share personal experiences.

SEND / EAL Read choices aloud, reduce the number shown at once, and allow verbal or pointing responses.

Stretch Distinguish personal preference from a decision where an adult has a genuine safety responsibility.

Evidence of learning Learner gives a clear example of bodily autonomy.
