The boundaries workshop will cover key aspects of the key stage 2 currciulum, which is statutory guidance for:
- relationships education
- relationships and sex education (RSE)
- health education)
Examples include:
- pupils should be taught:
- how to take turns
- how to treat each other with kindness, consideration and respect
- the importance of honesty and truthfulness, permission seeking and giving
- the concept of personal privacy (relationships education: primary – 55)
- establishing personal space and boundaries, showing respect and understanding the differences between appropriate and inappropriate or unsafe physical, and other contact (relationships education: primary – 55)
- respect for others should be taught in an age-appropriate way, in terms of understanding one’s own and others’ boundaries in play, in negotiations about space, toys, books, resources and so on (relationships education: primary – 56)
- through relationships education (and RSE), schools should teach pupils the knowledge they need to recognise and to report abuse, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse. In primary schools, this can be delivered by focusing on boundaries and privacy, ensuring young people understand that they have rights over their own bodies. This should also include understanding boundaries in friendships with peers and also in families and with others, in all contexts, including online (relationships education: primary – 62)
