What Belongs to You?
Bodily autonomy is more than preference. It involves voice, consent, care, safety and the effect of pressure.
Start by testing where a person’s choice matters and where adults still have genuine protection responsibilities.
Teacher View
Teach
Purpose Deepen bodily autonomy into a usable consent-and-safety concept.
Ask When can care support autonomy, and when can pressure weaken it?
Respond
Misconception Autonomy is not the same as getting every choice you want; nor does adult responsibility erase a young person’s voice.
Protect
Safeguarding Keep examples fictional/general; do not invite disclosure about relationships or family.
Adapt & assess
SEND / EAL Offer a consent/care/safety vocabulary bank and read scenarios aloud.
Evidence of learning Learner distinguishes autonomy from both total independence and adult control.
