Hi! I'm the Deputy Head at a SEN school in Central London.
I teach English and PSHE as well as leading on cyber safety as a CEOP ambassador.
A number of these resources may seem a little off the wall but I try to make resources as unique and entertaining as possible.

This is a presentation I deliver as a trained CEOP/Thinkuknow ambassador. This presentation is aimed at training staff but can easily be adapted to be delivered to students and/or parents.
The presentation is broken in to 5 sections:
Section 1: Introduction to online grooming. There is a pre-session knowledge test of key vocabulary which can be added to during the session, or alternatively turned into flash cards.
Section 2: The first of 3 True or False questions. The first section focuses on how avatars and online role player games can be abused by online groomers. There are examples of concerning sites and information on the Proteus Effect.
Section 3: This focuses on the acronyms and emojis that young people use to communicate about sexual behaviour. There is a easy to follow explanation of how groomers operate. Then, there is a grid with the acronyms allowing the participants to guess before giving the answers.
Section 4: This focuses on bringing the learning together and looking at transcripts of chats to analyse the warning signs. There are 3 different chats, 2 with translation in cases of difficulty understanding, all of which model how online grooming can take place.
Section 5: Summarises the issues and offers advice for professionals and parents on how to educate young people on the dangers online.
This bundle contains 9 powerpoints and a roleplay document which could be used for whole class PSHE lessons, small group social skills, mentoring sessions or even assemblies.
They have been successfully used in working with pupils at risk of exclusion, pupils with social and communication difficulties and pupils with special educational needs.
The powerpoints feature structured activities, discussion questions, roleplays and quizzes. All can be easily adapted to suit the needs of your children.
The full list of lessons are: The Assault Cycle, Developing Empathy (x2), Drug Misconceptions, Gun and Knife Crime, Using Language, Creating Boundaries, Learning to be respectful and An introduction to hip hop.
A printable handout to give to parents on 'Parents' Evening'.
The form is great to give parents concise and digestable feedback to take away, particularly of students who really need to take that feedback on board!

Here are three tried and trusted lessons to help challenge bullying behaviour.
These lessons have been used with small groups and whole classes, both in a mainstream and specialist setting.
Lesson 1: What is Bullying? The lesson focuses on defining bullying and recognising how the behaviour becomes cyclical rather than linear. There is a comic strip and video links to help bring it to life for the students. There are some role plays attached too, to help model potential bullying scenarios.
Lesson 2: Instigator or innovator? The lesson focuses on teaching students how they can diffuse bullying situations rather than inflame them. There are plenty of realistic scenarios to role play out and practical advice for the students on how to deal with them if they arise.
Lesson 3: Respect. The lesson focuses on how to treat others with respect. It encourages the students to share their own experiences of being disrespected before looking at the heartbreaking real life example of Felix Alexander.
All lessons are easy to customise and differentiate.
