This is a activity for learners to sort and discuss various situations and whether they are a safeguarding issue. Learners can be asked to explain why they think they are, tutors can suggest further information to the situation. For instance, ‘Adding a member of staff on Facebook’ - what if they are related? etc
There are 45 cards to sort and two cards to be used as place mat for Safeguarding Issue, and Not a Safeguarding Issue.
These 9 cards describe various scenarios which indicate safeguarding problems. Learners can use these to discuss risks, problems arising, things that might help. These get discussions flowing about the problems and to consider how people they interact with daily might be facing these problems. A good introduction to advise them what to do in these situations.
This is a set of 24 scenario cards, 12 Person A and 12 Person B. Any Person A card can be used with any Person B card which creates a range of scenarios between them. Person A has an issue which is effecting them at work. Person B is someone at work and have different responsibilities. The learners can role play these or they can be used as discussion prompts.
The subjects cover bullying, personal problems, work issues and motivation. They can be looked at in terms of work ethics, equality and diversity, appropriate behaviours, policies and procedures and problem solving.
This is a single sided A4 summary of what British Values, Prevent and Safeguarding are. It was written to remind learners throughout the year, so that they would be able to answer confidently if Ofsted ask them what it is.
There is space to add your Safeguarding Team contact number and I have left it editable so that you can make changes to suit your institution.
This is a bundle of 5 crosswords with the answer sheet, on the following subjects:
British Values
Prevent Duty
Equality and Diversity
Democracy
Rule of Law
This activity is great for teaching customer service skills, communication skills and problem solving.
There are 8 customer cards and 8 staff cards. The customer cards have a scenario that the customer needs sorting. The staff card has information to set the background/attitude of the staff. Any staff card can be put with any customer card, so there are numerous combinations that can be used.
These can be used to role play a scenario, where the learners can then feedback on their experiences. The learners can also either role play or suggest a better way of dealing with the situation, and analyse what went wrong in the examples.
This is a good, quick or extended activity which focuses on the British Values. The cards include the titles of the values to use as headers, and the learners can decide which cards go with what value. The cards cover various things that could be linked to more than one value, promoting discussion and debate amongst the learners.

This is a little activity to get learners thinking about the pros and cons of working for yourself. In groups, they discuss what they think would be a positive and what would be a negative. They can use them as discussion prompts, or to rate the positives from least important to most important. These activities are great opportunities for generating discussion and debate among the learners.
A short questionnaire for learners to find out what sort of mindset they have. I use this at the beginning and end of a session on Growth Mindset to see if their attitudes have changed.
I teach a cohort of predominantly male students. I use this when discussing bullying to make them aware of how their comments could be taken by other students. We also discuss how they might be subjected to sexual harassment, and how they might be accused of it. I find this session also breaks the ice as they become quite passionate about some subjects that emerge from the discussion, so I use this early in the year. At the end there is a link to a video about sexual consent.
A nice little worksheet for learners to think about what makes them who they are. This is where they can acknowledge what they are good at, what type of person they are, what they value and what interests they have. This can be used to think about personal statements, CVs, writing applications or used for self esteem or self respect lessons.
Use the scenarios provided or create your own and use the worksheet and calculations to work out how long it will take the drunk person to be under the legal limit to drive. Designed to create awareness for youngsters who might be tempted to drink and drive, or drive the morning after a binge drink.
These are 6 pictures i designed for students to describe to each other. They can sit back to back or facing each other as long as the picture is hidden. The student holding the image must describe it to the other student who must then draw as instructed. They must not use words to describe the item, like “boat” or “tree”, but rather describe lines and shapes.
These can also be used for team working activity, where one person describes it to a group of people, who must between themselves, draw the image - this means learners discuss among themselves where they think lines should go, they might delegate one person to do one stage each, or elect someone to draw with others guiding.
This is my attendance lesson with activities. I have included a brief lesson plan, the Power Point, and activity resources. The learners look at how their attendance would look to employers and highlights the importance of high attendance.
