Exploited
The Exploited film and accompanying lessons aim to help young people understand healthy and mutually respectful relationships; including what healthy and unhealthy features look like in both online and offline contexts and how to report concerns of abuse.
This resource is an update to one of our most utilised and popular resources, with a new film, lesson plans and accompanying resources. The updated resource features three lessons centred on a situational film following teenage characters and explores abusive relationships including blackmail, coercion and sexual exploitation in parallel with two characters depicting the qualities of a healthy relationship.
Exploited should be delivered through structured lessons by teachers in education settings. In schools, it should be embedded in a developmental Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education curriculum, as part of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).
Exploited
The three lessons cover the following topics:
- Healthy and unhealthy relationships
- Power and control
- Setting boundaries and getting help
The lessons contain:
- Comprehensive guidance for delivering lessons safely and effectively in education settings.
- Adaptable and inclusive materials, including alternative, extension and optional homework activities to support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or other requirements. This helps professionals choose the best approach to use depending on the needs of their pupils.
- Sign-posting to age-appropriate support and services to report.
- Links to relevant UK curricula.
