Supporting schools to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people
Classroom discussions on terrorist attacks
Thursday 23rd March 2017
the PSHE Association have produces a framework for schools to use to facilitate classroom discussions in the event of a terrorist attack that can be accessed here.
Whilst normally all learning in PSHE education should be built into a planned progressive programme, there are times when we may need to respond immediately to unforeseen events.
Terrorist attacks can create a variety of strong feelings, including curiosity, excitement, anxiety or fear. This discussion framework can be adapted to a range of situations, and provides a framework for young people to discuss such events, and provides opportunities to process what has happened in the safety of a classroom.
